How we helped revolutionize garment recycling with RFID technology Wear2Go had a bold vision: to make garment recycling scalable, efficient, and fully aligned with circular textile practices. The challenge? They needed a system that could automate the disassembly of garments made with Wear2® Ecostitching – a unique thread that dissolves under electromagnetic energy. To truly scale, they also needed transparency and traceability through each step of the recycling process. Here’s how we made it happen: We developed the Master Ecostitching Control System (MECS) – a fully integrated RFID-powered solution. With RFID-equipped garments, a cloud-based data system, and a microwave tunnel for disassembly, the entire process is automated and traceable. MECS calculates the necessary energy, guides the process, and provides a digital material passport for full transparency. The result? Garment recycling has never been easier. The system we built alongside Wear2Go reduces manual labor, increases efficiency, and brings a new level of transparency to sustainable fashion. With our RFID technology, this solution is set to help close the loop on garment production and disposal, making circular textile solutions scalable for the future. 🔗 Learn more about how we made this happen on our website. #CircularFashion #Sustainability #RFID #Trackware #Wear2Go #SustainableTextiles #InnovationInFashion #RecyclingTechnology #TextileRecycling

🌍👗 Sustainable fashion means rethinking the way we produce garments – minimising waste and promoting greater traceability across the board. Introducing SRTX, a Canadian material science and manufacturing automation expert. Its smart factory software brings transparency to the production process with real-time updates and complete oversight. This is a significant step forward in an industry where supply chain transparency is often lacking.🔄 Its first product, Sheertex tights, is a testament to its commitment to durability and sustainability. Made from a unique polymer, these tights are nearly unrippable and have transformed hosiery from a single-use product to a year-round staple. Its latest product, Watertex, is another groundbreaking polymer that’s incredibly water-resistant, toxin-free, and devoid of forever chemicals. Both Sheertex and Watertex polymers have the potential to transform textiles of all kinds and designs.👗🌟 #Innovation #Fashion #Sustainability #Textiles #InnovationThatMatters

“The Quantis International 2018 report found that the three main drivers of the industry’s global pollution impacts are dyeing and finishing (36%), yarn preparation (28%) and fibre production (15%)” At Nimbus, we strive to improve our community at the same rate as our business. One of the ways print-on-demand helps us is by allowing us to avoid overproduction, counteracting those main drivers from this article. #FastFashion #PrintOnDemand #Pollution https://lnkd.in/gDNEnBP

🌿 Pioneering a Greener Future in Fashion Manufacturing The fashion industry is undergoing a transformation towards sustainability, driven by increasing consumer awareness of environmental and social impacts. Here are some key insights from our latest article: 🍃 Environmental Impact: The fashion industry is the sixth most polluting industry in the world, with traditional practices leading to significant waste and pollution. 🍃 Consumer Demand: A McKinsey survey highlights that 67% of consumers prioritize sustainable materials, and 63% value brands promoting sustainability. This shift is driving brands to adopt more eco-friendly practices. 🍃 Innovative Solutions: Companies are embracing sustainable materials like organic cotton, hemp, and recycled fibers, and leveraging technology such as AI and 3D printing to reduce waste and enhance efficiency. 🍃 Ethical Practices: Transparency and fair labor practices are becoming essential. Brands like Patagonia and Eileen Fisher are leading the way with ethical sourcing and production methods. Explore these advancements and learn how sustainable fashion is shaping a greener future.

Sustainable RFID To Reduce Clothing Waste   World-Scale Challenge:   ~The fashion industry accounts for 10% of all carbon emissions and produces significant waste   ~EU’s New Legislation: the Digital Product Passport is pushing companies to fast-track their sustainability efforts using a ‘data-carrier’ (QR code or RFID)   ~Current RFID solutions are not truly sustainable due their use of metals   Nano-Scale Solution:   AMD technology is being developed to enable printing of sustainable carbon-based RFID onto labels in garments such as those with washing instructions, reducing cost further.       AMD's non-metallic inks are water based, completely recoverable during recycling, and fully compostable if printed on paper or similar substrate. Carbon RFID has only become a practical option following AMD’s most recent advances in nanomaterial developments (see https://lnkd.in/eG9dZWPF), which have seen a significant increase in the conductivity of the materials, making non-metallic RFID a practical option for the first time.     Email contact@amdnano.com to learn more about how we can improve your sustainability and reduce your waste.    #nanotechnology #sustainability #innovation #rfid https://lnkd.in/eESzWFw9

This is a great article from Supply & Demand Chain Executive highlighting the waste in just one market sector, and how #RAINRFID helps reduce wastage and costs from factory through to consumer. While advances have been made by the #RFID industry in making tags more sustainable, metals or metal inks are still central to their manufacture. The realisation of sustainable, cost- effective non-metallic RFID has been a target for Advanced Material Development for a number of years, and is now achievable due to AMD's recent carbon ink developments.

Coloring the Future: Can the Fashion Industry Finally Go Green? When we think about the environmental impact of fashion, the first thing that often comes to mind is fast fashion and waste. But did you know that dyeing fabric is one of the biggest offenders? Just dyeing a single ton of polyester can produce 30 tons of toxic wastewater! And worldwide, the apparel industry uses five trillion liters of water every year just to dye our clothes. But there’s hope! Companies like Alchemie Technology are stepping up with innovative solutions, like their digital dyeing process that’s transforming how we color our clothes. Instead of drowning fabric in dyes and chemicals, Alchemie's machine works like an inkjet printer, firing tiny droplets of dye precisely where they’re needed. Here’s why this matters: 1. Big Water Savings: Alchemie’s approach reduces water usage by 95%, a huge win in water-stressed areas. 2. Lower Energy Use: Cutting energy needs by up to 85% is a major leap for an industry where every degree matters in heating huge vats of dye. 3. Speedy Process: Traditional dyeing takes hours; Alchemie’s tech cuts that down to a fraction, potentially 3-5 times faster than conventional methods. 4. Less Pollution: The textile industry contributes 20% of global industrial water pollution, a digital approach with precision and less chemical use could seriously cut that down. 5. Real-World Trials: Alchemie is piloting this in Taiwan, where the climate and manufacturing conditions are perfect for testing scalability. They’re also gearing up to trial in South Asia and Portugal, hoping to bring this greener approach to market soon! 6. The Challenge of Scale: Major brands work with thousands of factories. Scaling solutions like these across global supply chains isn’t easy but is absolutely essential. It’s still early days, but every step toward sustainable dyeing is a step toward a greener planet. The shift isn’t just about technology but rethinking how we value water, energy, and innovation. #SustainableFashion #GreenTech #InnovationInFashion #AlchemieTechnology #ClimateAction #WaterConservation #EcoFriendly

Today, we're exploring the concept of digital dyeing, a trend generating buzz in the fashion industry. Digital dyeing offers the promise of easily changing textile dyeing with a simple click, reducing water waste and pollution associated with traditional dyeing methods. This technology utilizes inkjet technology similar to textile digital printing, offering precision without extra material costs. While experts believe digital dyeing can deliver vibrant colors and durability comparable to traditional methods, challenges such as costs and equipment availability hinder widespread adoption. Despite this, digital dyeing has the potential to revolutionize fashion by water saving and reducing environmental impact. Do you think digital dyeing is the future of fashion or just a passing trend? Share your thoughts!
