WCTD - Usha Yarns Limited

Sophie Scanlon, Project Plan B, Head of Circular Design

We have used our mechanical extrusion technology to successfully spin yarn from post consumer polyester, and made buttons out of the lower grade pellets.

Challenge

Getting as many textile brands as possible to design for recyclability, so that we have the feedstock necessary to scale.

Need

Design for recyclability needs to be embedded into all textile design. Joining the Circular Textiles Foundation means brands can certify their products will be recycled.
