In collaboration with the Swedish startup Sharetex, the company has succeeded in producing recycled cellulose from polycotton\u2014a material that is notoriously difficult to recycle\u2014opening new pathways for circular management of clothing and textiles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A commitment to circular economy and environmental stewardship.
