The Green Machine is a first in the industry and uses an innovative and ultra-efficient hydrothermal treatment method that decomposes cotton into cellulose powders and enables the separation of polyester fibres from blended fabrics, the company added. The process is a closed loop and uses only water, heat and less than 5 per cent biodegradable green chemicals.

As part of the ISKO’s R-Two programme, it is also working to develop fabrics with a guaranteed minimum 50 per cent + GRS (Global Recycle Standard) recycled content blend. This will significantly reduce the carbon and water footprint of a fabric, as well as make it easy for consumers to trace a garment’s sustainable journey step-by-step from the beginning of the supply chain through to the end product they purchase.
