Insights

  • A cutting-edge textile technology is transforming end-of-life management by embedding circularity at the design stage.
  • It enables up to 95 per cent textile recovery and significant water savings.
  • Eco-design framework ensures products are built for circularity, minimising waste and boosting recyclability.
  • The scalable hub model connects design, collection, and recycling globally.

At the foundation of its system lies Smart Stitch, a suite of ** heat-dissolvable sewing threads engineered to disassemble under controlled thermal activation between ***°C and ***°C. These threads are compatible with existing stitching infrastructure and have been validated under industrial manufacturing conditions. During standard use, they perform identically to conventional threads but at end of life enable the automated separation of components without manual intervention.

This approach embeds disassembly potential directly into the product architecture, enabling garments to be deconstructed cleanly and efficiently while maintaining production speed and mechanical integrity.
