re.solution´s approach to chemical polyester recycling utilizes enhanced hydrolysis, a water-based method ideal for mixed polyester textile waste. Currently, this process generates one tonne of hazardous salt waste for every tonne of recycled polyester, negatively impacting sustainability. By employing re.solution’s electrochemical method, chemicals are replaced with electricity. This eliminates salt waste and significantly reduces the water and chemical use, as well as CO2 emissions. The patented technology facilitates hydrolysis processes and promotes sustainable chemical recycling of mixed textile waste. As a spin-off of RWTH Aachen University, the start-up´s mini plant with a capacity of 0.5 kg/h is located in Aachen. The start-up is currently building a larger plant to further validate the game-changing electrochemical recovery of the polyester-monomers on a larger scale.
