H&M and Puma will be testing the Worn Again technology in their supply chains this year. A recycling start-up, Worn Again is amongst the first-of-its-kind organizations to develop a textile-to-textile recycling process. Worn Again’s chemical recycling technology is able to separate and extract polyester and cotton from old or end-of-use clothing and textiles. Once separated, the aim is to enable the ‘recaptured’ polyester and cellulose from cotton to be spun into new fabric creating a ‘circular resource model’ for textiles.
