La economía circular no funciona sin ti: estos son los gestos cotidianos que de verdad reducen la montaña de residuos

16 de setembro de 2026 Notícias, Las Últimas, Spañol 3 Views

La economía circular ha dejado de ser una idea bonita para convertirse en una necesidad diaria. Durante décadas hemos vivido con un modelo muy simple, extraer recursos, fabricar, usar y tirar. El problema es que ese camino ya muestra sus consecuencias en forma de residuos, contaminación, pérdida de biodiversidad y una presión enorme sobre materias primas que no son infinitas.

Ahora Europa quiere acelerar el cambio. La Comisión Europea prepara una nueva Ley de Economía Circular para el tercer trimestre de 2026, dentro de una estrategia que busca aumentar el uso de materiales reciclados de calidad y reducir la dependencia de recursos críticos. Pero hay una parte que no depende solo de Bruselas. También depende de lo que hacemos al comprar, reparar, reutilizar o separar residuos en casa. Y eso, aunque parezca pequeño, cuenta mucho.

Textile recycling trio joins forces to scale Green Machine Recycling International

The international collaboration was announced at the textiles recycling expo in Brussels. It highlights growing commercial interest in technologies that can process blended textiles, including denim and mixed-fibre garments. As brands, recyclers and manufacturers look for scalable circular solutions, technologies that can recover high-value fibres from post-consumer textiles are becoming increasingly important. At the centre of the project is The Green Machine, a polyester and cellulose recycling system that uses hydrothermal treatment and dissolution treatment to separate cotton-polyester blends. It is based in a pilot developed by R D specialist HKrita. By decomposing cotton into cellulose powder, polyester fibres are separated while maintaining quality, allowing fibre-to-fibre recycling. The recycled cotton cellulosic powder can be used in re-spinning and agriculture, supporting a broader range of circular applications. The next phase aims to develop the Green Machine into a complete treatment process within an industrial set-up. By separating the blended textiles, the system recovers PET fibre for re-spinning while converting cotton fibre into cellulosic powder for uses including composite fibre, water-retaining material for cotton farming and PFC-free durable water-repellent surface finish. In this way, it supports the goal of end-to-end recycling, where post-consumer textiles are recovered as raw materials for the production cycle. The Green Machine is attracting attention because it can handle difficult textile stream including denim and mixed textiles. Denim is a particular challenge for recyclers, which makes Jeanologia’s involvement especially relevant. The process uses only heat, water and a small amount of environmentally safe chemicals, with a recovery rate of over 97% for polyester fibres within two hours. A major advantage is that it requires only 30% of the energy needed to produce virgin PET fibres. Based in Gresham, Oregon, Looptworks spe...
