Decathlon Circular & rePET technology
Closing the Loop
What if we could do more to recycle our textiles? By separating components thanks to absorbable yarn and treating PET, we are facilitating the reuse of some complex textile waste!
The MH120 fleece - revised and improved (again)!
This fleece has had several lives. We have been selling it for years. It never changes.... and yet never stops evolving. After a period when it was created from recycled bottles, it's time for a new version. But rest assured! When it comes to quality and warmth, nothing has changed!
Pulling the strings
Thanks to the Circular Stitch technology, the sewing thread is resorbed when exposed to heat (>160°C), so the different patches of this fleece can be separated at end of life.
Separating virgin polyester from its additives (dyes, waterproofing, etc.)
Once the patches have been separated, the RePet solution enables extraction of the polyester through separation by chemical recycling (depolymerisation). New products can then be created.
