The issue of post industrial and post consumer thermoplastic polyester or all thermoplastic polyamides being post converted by so called recycling now upcycling and now more appropriately Supra cycled using molecular modification of the textile files and NOT depolymerization is an approach that is both economical and results in a product superior to the original virgin product produced without the modification initially. Therefore, this issue is not about the problem but rather the politics and fear of using disruptive technologies that work and those who fear changes that will result in improving on the existing global situation.
There is still a significant problem in the actual unwanted clothing be collected, sorted, and processed appropriately. I think we are definitely better than 30-40 years ago, but I haven't heard of supra cycled molecular modification of textiles. Do you have any literature here on this that you could share?
Tony there are solutions to these problems!! Supra Cycling is a phrase i started by using a process called supramolecular chemistry for condensation polymers. The so called term recycled or recycling and now upcycling have no limits or standards connected to the terms but its a marketing tool never the less. Super or Supra Cycling is a term with teeth and has limits and standards that allow the waste litter in textiles and molded parts from OEM to Recycled to Post Ind.Post Consumer, Ocean ghost gear to be directly post processed without depolymerization and detoxifying and upgrading the monomer formed to repolymerize new fibers that currently are limited by their final IV and RV values. The results of Supra cycling is to increase the outcome far beyond the current virgin OEM textiles produced and also superior to any depolymerized and reformed textile from that process. The collective limits of Supra cycling of condensation polymers increases the performance of the original material by orders of magnitiude and expands end use applications beyond the original virgin materials. This is the science and there will be more to come. Website is stabilization-technologies llc
