Smart Stitch™ is integrated into the garment during manufacturing, just like conventional sewing thread. It requires no major changes to the way products are designed or assembled. During use, it behaves like a conventional thread, while keeping future disassembly options open.
When a product needs to be opened, Smart Disassembly™ uses controlled heat to release selected seams. Depending on the application and scale, this can be done with dedicated thermal machines or tools, allowing components to be separated without relying on destructive mechanical processes.
Not every product needs to be recycled. Sometimes, the most valuable next step is to repair it, replace a component, remove a label or prepare it for another use. Design for Disassembly makes targeted opening possible, so only the parts that need to change have to be separated.
When products reach the end of their useful life, disassembly can separate components and materials that would otherwise remain locked together. Valuable elements can be recovered, while the remaining textile material can be prepared for recycling and further processing.
Innovative threads and disassembly to enable garments to evolve.
Resortecs enables products in the fashion, workwear, bedding easier to repair, recover, and reuse through Smart Stitch™ and Smart Disassembly™.
In addition, Resortecs offers pre- and post-consumer textile waste management services across these industries, supporting the efficient recovery and recycling of textile products and materials.
Resortecs provides design-for-disassembly technologies that make products easier to open, separate and recover throughout their lifecycle. Our highly efficient preprocessing solutions comprise:
Smart Stitch™, a range of 16 heat-activated stitching threads that allows specific parts of a product to be disassembled when needed, without affecting the rest of the construction. This makes it possible to intervene selectively on a product, from accessing individual components to preparing it for further use, transformation or recycling. Engineered by Resortecs, now produced by AMANN Group.
Smart Disassembly™, the world's first thermal disassembly and sorting system that eliminates trims that block recycling automatically up to 15x faster while reclaiming the double amount of a product’s textile content and delivering feedstock purity levels of >90%.
Simple at the beginning, revolutionary at the end – Resortecs closes the loop, stitch by stitch.
Resortecs’ ecodesign solution is 15x faster than traditional textile disassembly methods and makes it possible to recycle up to 90% of the original fabric material:
Smart Stitch™ — our range of 16 bio-based and synthetic heat-dissolvable stitching threads enable brands to create textile products designed for disassembly & recycling. Engineered by Resortecs, now produced by AMANN Group.
Smart Disassembly™ — our industrial thermal systems enable sorters and recyclers to separate different fabrics and automatically remove zippers, elastic bands and any other trims that hinder recycling without manual intervention.
