Description

Plastic recycling is broken, textile recycling is worse, but a new company called MacroCycle is changing the game. Their innovative process uses 80% less energy than creating new polyester, potentially making recycled materials cost-competitive. Fashion brands are already sampling MacroCycle's materials, and with a massive new facility in the works, they aim to revolutionize recycling by making it economically irresistible. Could this be the solution for a truly sustainable textile industry?
