1. Although creating different blends of recycled polyester with recycled cotton, organic cotton, etc., is good in the short term, know that these blends make it difficult to recycle at End of Use stage, and create liabilities and waste. When designing fibre blends, consider what happens after End of Use.
2. Design garments and products with reusable elements and for easy disassembly. Design the product so that trims, tags, buttons, etc. can be easily separated from the main body of the product at the end of its useful life, to enable easy in-house recycling. Create collection systems for the products. Collect, disassemble, reuse.
3. Look for cross-sector marketing opportunities. For example, partner with a soft drinks brand to use their PET bottles in fabrics, or partner with garment collection charity to establish a long term collection facility where customers can drop their closed loop recyclable polyester garments.
4. Investigate alternative technologies for colouring polyester fabrics, such as AirDye, which eliminates water from the dyeing process.[17] Explore unique aesthetics achieved from using this process.
