KETTERING, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 28: A sack containing 200kg of white polyester is seen as Production Operative John Telford loads unwanted polyester textiles into the Project Re:Claim system, the first commercial-scale polyester recycling plant of it's kind, on February 28, 2025 in Kettering, England. Project Re:Claim is a joint collaboration between The Salvation Army and Project Plan B, a company that specialises in garment design and recycling technologies. Installed in January 2024, the system recycles unwanted and used polyester fabrics down to a form of pellet, which can then be spun into yarn by partners, to be used in textiles and other industrial applications. Project Re:Claim recycled over 1000 tonnes of polyester in its first year of operation, and aims to double that in time, aiming to significantly answer the issue of polyester textile waste.
