H&M and Kering are ready to close the loop on textiles. The world’s second-largest fashion retailer linked arms with the French luxury conglomerate on Wednesday to announce their involvement in a revolutionary new initiative to recapture fibers from end-of-use clothing and textiles. Worn Again, the London-based firm behind the “textile to textile” chemical-recycling technology, describes it as the first of its kind able to separate and extract polyester and cotton for re-spinning into new yarns. This process, the company says, will enable a “circular resource” model, allowing textiles to be collected, processed, and remade into new textiles and clothes in a cyclical fashion.
