INDUSTRY'S FIRST OPEN-SOURCE PROGRAM FOR EVERYONE IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
Clean Recycling Initiative is an open source program for everyone in the textile industry around the globe, who can contribute to a truly sustainable way of reclaiming and recycling textile waste. Under the programs currently in place, there are three different methods: In-Line Method (a.k.a., LEVEL 3), Pre-Consumption Method (a.k.a., LEVEL 2) and Post-Consumption Method (a.k.a., LEVEL 1). The In-Line Method is proposed to manufacturers for a specific type of intermediary material. Pre-Consumption Method is designed for cut-and-sew factories in order to reclaim the clean left-over material from the processes. The Post Consumption Method is designed to reclaim textile waste from households around the globe. The main objectives of the Clean Recycling Initiative are to use clean processes which do not involve any chemical use, including toxic dyeing agents, cleaning chemicals, etc., nor creating microplastics contaminations from crushing / grinding processes, unnecessary carbon footprints, etc. The In-Line Method is proudly claimed to be the most sustainable technology platform in the global textile industry as it creates no negative environmental impact, not even a single trace of carbon footprint*.
— What We Propose —
New Methods
In recognition of the issues described above, a new methods are needed to reclaim textile and plastic waste in ways that are truly beneficial for the environment. One such method is the technology platform developed by HEAT-MX. The Clean Recycling Initiative™ was created based on the proposal from HEAT-MX as the founding platform and is the industry’s first open source program for everyone, not only in the textile and plastic industries but also for all consumers across the globe who wish to enhance the way they recycle. Currently, HEAT-MX’s two proprietary technology platforms are offered as an important part of the Clean Recycling Initiative™ and they are the In-Line Method and the Post-Consumption Method. Although Clean Recycling Initiative™ is based on proprietary technology platforms, HEAT-MX is sharing it as an open-source program and will work with companies, that is, brands, factories, distributors etc. all over the world in the industry to implement truly sustainable recycling.
With the above, whether you are a person in the textiles / plastic industry or a consumer, you can all help the truly sustainable program grow by participating in the Clean Recycling Initiative™. To participate, please contact us at info@crinitiative.net for more details.
