AI Hyperspectral Sorting

DataBeyond FastSort-Textile

Our DataBeyond FastSort-Textile line uses hyperspectral imaging to sort by fiber type, color, and contamination at 2+ tons per hour. Recognized by TIME as one of the Best Inventions of 2025, deployed at our Shanhesheng (Zhangjiagang) facility. Nylon garments are routed to a separate BASF-partnered recycling stream.

Mechanical Recycling

Cotton, Wool & Cashmere Processing

Cotton, wool, and cashmere are processed in-house into recycled fiber and fill material. Polyester-rich streams are reduced into textile popcorn and powder, optimizing surface area as prepared feedstock for enzymatic depolymerization. Mixed-fiber residuals become recycled cardboard, achieving near-zero landfill across all intake categories.

Cotton → Recycled Fiber
Wool → Fill Material
Cashmere → Recycled Fiber
Mixed → Recycled Cardboard

Enzymatic Depolymerization

Partner: Suxin Technology (10+ years R&D since 2015)

Suxin Technology's proprietary enzymatic process depolymerizes polyester at 60°C in an aqueous phase with room-temperature purification and zero solvent introduction. Drawing on 100+ bacterial strains and 30+ proprietary enzymes, it removes PFAS, pigments, and antimony (Sb) that conventional chemical recycling cannot handle. Output: purified r-PTA and r-EG monomers. r-PTA capacity scales from 30,000+ tons/year (2026) to 200,000+ tons/year (2030).

Polymerization & Fiber Extrusion

GRS-Certified Partner Network

Monomers are repolymerized at GRS-certified partner facilities (110,000+ tons/year combined), then extruded into recycled polyester filament (200,000+ tons/year) and staple fiber. All outputs are GRS-certified and available with Aware™ tracer technology.

Traceability & Compliance

Aware™ Tracer Technology

Physical Aware™ tracers are embedded at intake and survive every stage of the recycling process. Each batch is uniquely identifiable, enabling Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance, brand-level material provenance tracking, and full GRS chain-of-custody documentation.
