Project

Textile Mix - Textile Waste Innovations

Increase the proportion of secondary raw materials and reuse of textiles at a time when global resources are becoming increasingly limited and both consumers and authorities are placing higher demands on reducing the environmental…
Project

BioSusTex - Towards Absolute Safe and Sustainable Biobased Textile

The textile value chain involves a diverse range of materials, end users, and complex applications. Although there is a shift towards greater sustainability, progress is slow and requires more innovative technologies to address is…
Project

Classifications of textile waste

The textile industry is one of the most resource-intensive sectors in the world; every year 116 million tons of textiles are produced globally and large amounts end up as waste. This project will deep dive into an efficient classi…
Project

Care - Circular flows of plastic & textiles in healthcare

How can disposable products in healthcare be collected and recycled safely and sustainably? This project conducted practical experiments that formed the basis for proposals on circular business models.
Project

tExtended – Knowledge based Blueprint for Extended Textile Circularity

The accumulation of textile waste is a global challenge that requires efficient recycling solutions, as it is estimated that less than 1% of textile waste is currently being recycled as a secondary textile raw material. tExtended …
Project

Framework for Circular Textiles

Increased resource efficiency for a sustainable industry through classification of recycled textile materials and assessment of recyclability and circularity for increased implementation of secondary raw materials in textile value…
Project

RE:MIX III: Chemical recycling of synthetic textile blends

Each year the average Swedish citizen throws 7.5 kg of textile in the trash, textiles which are then incinerated. The value of 80 000 tons of textile is hence lost, every year. In the project Re:MIX III, RISE and COWI will develop…
Story

Chemical PET recycling creates new products

Plastic becomes new plastic, which becomes new plastic, which becomes new plastic, and on it goes. Using materials in a cycle is important for us to achieve the national environmental and climate goals and the global goals in the …
Expertise

Recyclability of polyester

Are you striving to make complex textiles recyclable, and are exploring polyesterbased solutions? Do you want data on the performance of new designs in actual chemical recycling?
Expertise

Pretreatment and analysis

Recycling into high-value products require knowledge about your ingoing feedstock as well as the output products from your selected recycling process. We have the tools and the expertise to both obtain and make use of that knowled…
Expertise

Depolymerisation

At RISE you can validate your feedstock, solvent system or catalyst for depolymerisation. Recycling through depolymerisation enables a new lifecycle also for partly degraded or mixed materials.
Expertise

Dissolution of polymers

Dissolution allows recycling, purification and separation of biological as well as synthetic polymers. Through dissolution, plastic feedstock may be separated from hazardous substances which makes them suitable for mechanical recy…
Expertise

Circular design

Circular design aims at maximizing the durability, repairability, reusability and recyclability of a product. The quality of a recycled material is critically dependent on the quality of the  waste material used; hence circul…
Expertise

Chemical recycling of plastics

Chemical recycling complements the mechanical recycling of plastics, textiles and glass/carbon fiber composites. Through chemical recycling mixed, aged and End-of-Life plastic streams may be recycled. This enables our already used…
Expertise

Plastic recycling

Plastic recycling contributes to circular material utilization and reduced oil dependence, prerequisites for a sustainable future and for Sweden to reach the goal of no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045 at the latest. Toda…

Is chemical recycling the key to a circular textile value chain?

That was the central question when RISE gathered researchers and industry partners for a webinar on 25 September 2025. The focus was chemical recycling, a technology that can move the textile industry closer to circularity and red…
