Wear2® Ecostitching Technology: Basis for circular closed loop textiles
Applicable for textile products within different sectors where mixed textiles and accessories are combined with each other. With application of the Wear2® concept, these products can be quickly disassembled, after which created monomaterials are suitable for the most sustainable processing.
Wear2Go is a developer and producer of a new key technology that makes it possible to disassemble clothing at the end of the first user cycle, commonly referred to as end-of-life, using the innovative Wear2® Thread.
Under the influence of electromagnetic energy (± 70 seconds) via a newly developed Tunnel Disassembler, this thread loses its strength, making it possible to efficiently separate a garment made of mixed textiles and accessories into monoflows.
A textile monomaterial is a waste stream consisting of only one type of textile. If textiles are carefully selected from the beginning, in the stage of circular design, circular reuse is possible. Wear2Go then focuses entirely on ‘fiber for fiber’ reuse in new clothing.
Unfortunately, this is impossible with mixed textiles from which clothing is usually made and can only be separated at great (manual) effort and cost. With a holistic approach, we facilitate an infrastructure to make this possible on an industrial scale using Wear2® Ecostitching Technology. Fast, efficient, and transparent.
In addition, we aim to complement this technology with other new sustainable products such as newly developed membranes, seam sealing tapes, reflective tapes, zippers, and logos/transfers.
We also offer circular-design advice on circular material use, sustainable follow-up, life cycle analyses (LCA), and environmental impact analyses in collaboration with specialized partners.
