Insights

  • Recycling cotton remains constrained by fibre shortening, dust and feedstock variability, but machine builders are making progress.
  • Market demand is driving the need for technology advances.
  • Machine builders are adding automation to manage variability.
  • Multi-stage opening and selective cleaning are emerging as crucial.
  • Physics of short fibres cannot be completely overcome.

A key theme of the exhibition will be accelerating the green transition, and its organiser Cematex reports that a wide number of exhibitors will be demonstrating  innovations in preparation technology, quality monitoring and adapted rotor and ring spinning systems for recycled fibres.

In the run-up, three major machine builders—Rieter and Saurer, both headquartered in Switzerland, and Germany’s Trützschler—have announced solutions aimed squarely at successfully recycling cotton fibres.
