Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GARMENT-TO-GARMENT RECYCLING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/198957
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A garment-to-garment system for manufacturing new garments via recycling abandoned garments avoids, or minimizes the likelihood of, generating wastewater by the following approach. The abandoned garments are waterlessly sanitized by ozone fumigation. Fabric pieces of the sanitized abandoned garments are opened with dust removal to form fiber tufts, which are subsequently divided with trash removal to form fiber clumps. The fiber clumps are waterlessly sanitized by ozone fumigation or UV-C irradiation. Advantageously, the fiber clumps are spread out to form a web of fibers during sanitization. The exposed surface area of the fiber web is significantly higher than that of the abandoned garments, thereby increasing the sanitization effectiveness. The new garments are then formed from the sanitized fiber clumps by standard garment-manufacturing processes.
