It takes 2,700 liters of water to produce a single T-shirt. That amount of water is enough to provide one person with drinking water for 2,5 years. Not to mention all the microplastics, carbon emissions and towering mountains of textile waste that it produces year on year.<\/p>\n<p>The motto of start-up HTEX is that instead of needing more raw materials, we should become better at converting \u2018old\u2019 used raw materials into new ones. The company has developed a recycling technique that can convert clothing waste into raw materials. Their chemical recycling method breaks down polyester clothing waste into the original raw materials for polyester: ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. These can then be made into clothing again. \u201cWhat takes the earth twenty million years, we do in twenty minutes,\u201d CEO Niek Hokken says in this instalment of start-up of the day. HTEX is focusing initially on polyester, but this technology can basically convert all types of textiles into raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read the full article via this link:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/innovationorigins.com\/en\/htex-recycles-clothing-what-takes-the-earth-20-million-years-we-do-in-20-minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/innovationorigins.com\/en\/htex-recycles-clothing-what-takes-the-earth-20-million-years-we-do-in-20-minutes\/\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n  \n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":2152,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,30],"tags":[63,111,110,68],"class_list":["post-2812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chemical-recycling","category-shoes","tag-clothing","tag-netherlands","tag-pyrolysis","tag-recycling"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>HTEX recycles polyester used clothing via hydropyrolysis technology - Innovation Origins - RecycleRefashion<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The start-up uses hydropyrolysis technology : under high temperatures and pressures, the pieces of clothing disintegrate into molecules.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/recycle.oliv.fr\/en\/htex-recycles-polyester-used-clothing-via-hydropyrolysis-technology-innovation-origins\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HTEX recycles polyester used clothing via hydropyrolysis technology - Innovation Origins - RecycleRefashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The start-up uses hydropyrolysis technology : under high temperatures and pressures, the pieces of clothing disintegrate into molecules.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/recycle.oliv.fr\/en\/htex-recycles-polyester-used-clothing-via-hydropyrolysis-technology-innovation-origins\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"RecycleRefashion\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-09-20T16:40:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-09-20T16:40:15+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/recycle.oliv.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/plastic-g3fa1f9b3e_1920.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1440\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sophie Cornou\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sophie Cornou\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/recycle.oliv.fr\\\/en\\\/htex-recycles-polyester-used-clothing-via-hydropyrolysis-technology-innovation-origins\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/recycle.oliv.fr\\\/en\\\/htex-recycles-polyester-used-clothing-via-hydropyrolysis-technology-innovation-origins\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Sophie Cornou\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/recycle.oliv.fr\\\/en\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/e9ecba5cad8b23f82886d492df560a23\"},\"headline\":\"HTEX recycles polyester used clothing via hydropyrolysis technology &#8211;
