iF Gold Statement
This end-to-end recycling system for clothes starts with the sanitizing and shredding of old garments. Just a few square meters of space are needed to house the entire 8-step production line. This ingenious system opens up the prospect of ad-hoc and on-site-recycling systems in a variety of locations. Because the system doesn't require water, this is a sustainable upcycling solution.
