Georg Stegschuster, a researcher specializing in textile recycling, has emphasized the importance of fine-tuning the preparation and tearing and spinning processes in order to achieve the best quality results and minimize unnecessary fiber shortening. This is especially important when dealing with textile waste, which often results in shorter fibers compared to virgin materials.
Recently, Trutzschler expanded its portfolio by becoming the first company dealing with the production of textile waste, offering solutions from mechanical recycling to the preparation for spinning of torn secondary fibers. This expansion was made possible by the development of Truecicled recycling technology in cooperation with Balkan Tektile Machinery in Turkey.
Trutzschler’s Truecycled system covers the entire process, from cutting and tearing textile waste to combing and extracting secondary fibers. This holistic approach, combined with Trutzschler’s extensive expertise, enables manufacturers to maintain control over the process and prevent unnecessary fiber shortening. As a result, the proportion of pre- or post-use waste in the yarn can be increased without sacrificing quality, demonstrating the potential for higher quality end products from recycled materials.
