FAQ
No, we make products easier to evolve!
Resortecs is a Design for Disassembly technology company, we develop solutions that make products easier to open, separate and recover throughout their lifecycle, from repair and delabelling to transformation, component recovery and recycling.
Our technologies, including Smart Stitch™ and Smart Disassembly™, enable selected parts of a product to be disassembled when needed, helping brands keep more options open for what happens next.
When products reach the end of their useful life, our solutions can also prepare them for efficient, high-quality recycling. We work with selected recyclers and other partners to connect brands with the right circular solutions.
Yes, you can!
Clothes stitched with Smart Stitch™ can be washed, dried, and ironed normally. Our threads are designed to behave like conventional sewing threads during the product’s use phase and only activate at specific high temperatures (150°C, 170°C and 190°C), which are well above the average maximum temperature washing and drying machines can reach. Our threads have successfully passed performance tests under the most severe conditions of washing and drying at industrial laundries. Customers are expected to follow the care instructions label on any product stitched with Smart Stitch™.
No, thanks to Smart Disassembly™!
Smart Disassembly™, our thermal disassembly systems, have been specifically designed to allow fast, high-quality disassembly without compromising the quality of clothing. Our systems work with little to no oxygen in their chambers, ensuring that clothes won’t burn or oxidize despite the very high temperatures they are subjected to.
For applications using Smart Stitch™ with manual tools, the appropriate equipment and process must be used according to the specific application.
No, you can't!
Unlike Smart Disassembly™, our thermal disassembly systems, kitchen ovens are not specifically designed for processing textiles. Using a kitchen oven to disassemble garments will damage the textiles and is unsafe, as it could start a fire.
Do not use a domestic oven to disassemble products sewn with Smart Stitch™. It can damage the textile and create a fire or safety risk.
The appropriate disassembly method depends on the application, product and scale, from dedicated hand tools to industrial Smart Disassembly™ systems.
No, we don't!
We don’t collect old clothes, we focus on keeping products and materials valuable throughout their lifecycle. Our technologies can help products be repaired, delabelled, transformed, recovered or recycled, depending on their condition and what is needed next.
We also provide pre- and post-consumer textile waste management, sorting, recovery and recycling services for selected industrial applications.
Our goal is not simply to manage clothes once they become waste, but to make it easier to decide what happens to products before they reach that point.
Different needs call for different threads!
Each thread is adapted to different kinds of fabric and uses, always focusing on the optimal configuration to ensure quality, creativity, and flexibility from design to recycling. Curious to learn which thread is best for your product? Get in touch with our Sales team.
No, you don't!
The beauty of Smart Stitch™ is that it doesn’t require any substantial changes in your current manufacturing processes. Our threads have been tested and work in most common and industrial stitching machines. It’s a plug-and-play solution that looks, feels, and performs exactly like any other high-quality polyester thread. Any potential adaptation required will be minor and closely followed by our team of engineers to make the process as smooth as possible.
Yes, it does!
Our threads come in multiple colors! Get in touch with our sales team to discuss your needs.
Unfortunately We don't provide sample bobbins for general testing.
Smart Stitch™ is a Design for Disassembly technology designed for specific product applications. Its value depends on how it is integrated into a product and what you want to achieve, from repair and delabelling to transformation, component recovery or recycling.
For this reason, we don’t send sample bobbins for general testing. Our team first assesses the application, product construction, and intended use to determine whether Smart Stitch™ is suitable and which solution is most appropriate.
