The European Union is setting ambitious targets for recycled content.

 

 To meet these ambitious targets, mono-material alone will not suffice to provide the amount of high quality fabric-to-fabric recycled material.  This is why adopting design-for-disassembly is proposed as a solution.

By designing textile products with disassembly in mind, preprocessing efficiency of multi-material products can be increased by up to 4.6X, resulting in an overall 3.3X yield increase across all textile products.
