Resortecs provides waste management services for the fashion, workwear, bedding and automotive industry, covering both pre- and post-consumer textiles. It is active in eco-design, using innovative design-for-disassembly technology.

Zippers and buttons make garment recycling complicated as the removal of such details calls for manual assistance, making the process both costly and time consuming.

Resortecs has solved this problem by coming up with two technologies. The first is Smart Stitch™, a range of 16 threads that dissolve at high temperature. This thread makes both repairing and recycling much simpler.

When used for regular seams, the whole piece of clothing can easily be disassembled so that the fabric can be used over and over in new ways, cutting the need to produce fabric from scratch. Smart Stitch™ does not require modifications in manufacturing or design. It is one of the simplest and most affordable ways for brands to advance towards product circularity.

The second technology designed by Resortecs is Smart Disassembly™. It is the world's first thermal disassembly system. It's an automatic process whereby recyclers can disassemble textile products while removing zippers, elastic bands and any other trims that hinder recycling.  Recyclability rates are as high as 95%.
