[SOLD OUT] Visit SusTex: technology, research and innovation in fashion recycling
This event is sold out.
On behalf of our Sustainability community we like to invite you for this unique company visit into the world of sustainable fashion:
Today, about 90 million tonnes of textile waste are being generated and disposed of annually. Only less than 1% of it is being upcycled. The amount of textile waste is expected to grow to over 134 million tonnes by 2030. Join us on a visit to RGE-NTU Sustainable Textile Research Centre (RGE-NTU SusTex), to find out how this state-of-the-art research centre is working on different end-of-life solutions for fashion textiles. RGE, the world’s largest viscose producer, and NTU Singapore partnered on innovation in textile recycling technology to address this global problem. RGE-NTU SusTex, is part of a US$200 million commitment to next-generation textile fibre innovation and technology collaborative partnership.
