In doing so, the Commission provides a framework and vision for a sustainable and circular textile sector, where products are designed to be more durable, reusable and repairable, recyclable and energy efficient.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The challenge for the textile industry is great and thoughts are being given everywhere to how garments can be recycled. It is also crucial to maintain the quality of the material in the many process steps of recycling.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h4>Recycling Atelier since summer 2022<\/h4>\n<p>With the Recycling Atelier, Augsburg University of Applied Sciences and the Augsburg Institute of Textile Technology (ITA) opened the world&#8217;s first model factory for textile recycling in summer 2022, with the vision of high-quality recycling instead of landfill or thermal utilisation of textile residues. The Recycling Atelier is a centre for research and development along the entire textile production chain. In the studio, the individual process steps of mechanical textile recycling are summarised in the environment of a model factory. The concentration of the most important processes in one place enables holistic and comprehensive research along the textile recycling value chain, which has not existed in this form before.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15217\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15217\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-512x271.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-512x271.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-1024x543.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-256x136.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-768x407.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-1536x814.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-2048x1086.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Recycling_Atelier_Gesamtansicht_Quelle_300DPI-825x437.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: ITA Augsburg gGmbH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p>The recycling atelier includes all process steps from material analysis to sorting, preparation and textile processing &#8211; from preparation to spinning or direct processing (nonwoven fabric production) &#8211; and product design. At each stage, a company from industry supports the research with its industrial perspective and expertise. At the same time, the high degree of digitalisation within the chain leads to the use of artificial intelligence methods through high-quality and modern data collection, processing and evaluation. For example, for sorting &#8211; which today is 100% manual &#8211; an automated solution is being developed through the use of sensor technology, robotics and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>With the Recycling Atelier as a catalyst, the strong consortium of business and research is initiating the urgently needed trend reversal towards a true circular economy. The focus of the studio is on upcycling and design 4 recycling. Upcycling is understood as high-quality recycling in which old jumpers are turned into new jumpers again or valuable applications such as durable insulation materials. Design 4 Recycling is the creation of a circular product design.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h4>Learning and innovation laboratory for new processes and products<\/h4>\n<p>At the same time, the two cooperation partners Augsburg University of Applied Sciences and the Augsburg Institute of Textile Technology (ITA) are laying the foundation stone here for a novel concept for training and further education with a learning and innovation laboratory. This is how new processes and products are created to develop concepts for a sustainable future.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15215\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15215\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-15215 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-512x384.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-256x192.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.dialog-dtb.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/IMG_1935-680x510.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: ITA Augsburg gGmbH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p><strong>We are pleased to announce the DTB membership of the Augsburg Institute of Textile Technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>As a project partner of the Recycling Atelier, we are planning our working group &#8220;Textile recycling &#8211; a challenge&#8221; on 25 April 2023 in Augsburg.
