The partnership aims to convert waste fabric from Odlo&#8217;s popular Active Warm base layers into recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET), marking a significant step towards circularity in the apparel industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collaboration will see DePoly use its advanced chemical recycling technology to break down 20 kilograms of fabric cut-offs from Odlo\u2019s base layers into monomers, which will then be reassembled into virgin-quality recycled PET yarn. If successful, this process could lay the foundation for Odlo\u2019s first circular base layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johanna Heimlicher, Sustainability Director at Odlo, emphasized the importance of this initiative for the company\u2019s broader circularity goals: \u201cThis collaboration represents a key milestone in Odlo\u2019s circularity journey. If successful, it will add an exciting dimension to our ReWEAR program and help us achieve both waste reduction and material reuse targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promoting circularity in the textile industry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The project is funded by a CHF 24,000 innovation grant from Innosuisse, awarded through the Innovation Booster \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boostitcircular.ch\/\">Applied Circular Sustainability<\/a>\u201d program. DePoly and Odlo\u2019s joint proposal was selected from several applicants seeking support for circular solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tijana Ivanovic, Senior Business Development Manager at DePoly, highlighted the significance of the collaboration: \u201cWe\u2019re proud to partner with Odlo to find circular solutions for synthetic materials. This project could have a lasting impact on the textile industry\u2019s sustainability efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Odlo\u2019s legacy of sustainable innovation dates back nearly 30 years. The company introduced a recycling guarantee in 1996 and launched its 100% recycled base layer, Green Tec, in 2011. The proof-of-concept with DePoly will run from October to December 2024, and if successful, the first circular base layer collection could be launched by 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swiss outdoor brand Odlo and chemical recycling pioneer DePoly have teamed up to explore a circular solution for fabric waste, with the goal
