Project Details
Description
Safety company Arco has committed seed funding to start-up Stuff4Life to support the research and development of a polyester workwear recycling project.
The funding will enable Stuff4Life to commission a chemical recycling demonstration plant in collaboration with Teesside University, bringing onboard its academic experts, research capabilities and facilities.
The recovered TPA can be reincorporated into various manufacturing processes, with the goal being to manufacture new polyester to deliver a 'PPE for Life' opportunity in the UK.
