GEA supports Circ towards resource-efficient fashion: a trend that won’t go out of style.

Together with the US-based company Circ, GEA has successfully tested and further developed a new process design which serves as the basic design for the world's first PET recycling plant for textiles. Circ is a pioneer in the field of textile recycling with its patented Circ® hydrothermal process. In this process, polycotton discarded clothing is recycled into PET chips, that serve as raw material to produce new clothing. Circ partnered with GEA because the machine and plant manufacturer and solution provider has decades of experience in the fields of mechanical and thermal separation technology, particularly crystallization, and can also carry out tests in its own development center.
