Each and every day, the textile industry has to participate in the preservation of our environment and natural resources. Its requires new technologies to be developed in the recycling sector. Laroche has been a major player in the textile waste recycling and airlaid nonwoven field and is now deeply involved in new technologies for turning post-consumer goods into valuable products.
Some recent examples:
Special lines now can open used clothing back into fibres whilst removing the metal and plastic contaminants. The fibers can then be airlaid and thermobonded into felts for the automotive, bedding and furniture industries.
Old mattresses can be deconstructed and the foam can be shredded into chips, the textile portion can be opened back into fibers and both can be airlaid and thermobonded back into components for new mattresses.
With large experience in recycling and airlaid nonwoven processes Laroche is up to the challenge of preserving our world resources.
