Textile recycling informed by data, enabled by artificial intelligence
We leverage data to understand how the extensive application of chemicals in textile manufacturing impacts recyclability and to predict outcomes.
Artificial intelligence meets chemistry
Sixone’s Proprietary Process
Sixone’s patent-pending technology platform combines advanced spectroscopy to create ‘chemical fingerprints’, artificial intelligence to predict recycling outcomes, and targeted chemical reactions to selectively extract polyester from blended clothing.
Data Extraction and Analysis
Advanced sensors gather detailed chemical fingerprint data from textiles, which are then analyzed against our materials database.
Recipe Recommendations
Proprietary machine learning algorithms generate predictive results and recommend the optimal reaction conditions.
Targeted Reactions
Polyester monomers are selectively extracted from clothing blends and repolymerized into pellets for reincorporation into textile production.
The Sixone Advantage
A cost-effective, scalable solution
Our novel approach organizes textile waste so that our algorithmically optimized reactions can be applied to extract polyester, while preserving the non-polyester components.
This creates the dual benefit of processing a broad range of textile waste as well as minimizing processing costs.
Pushing boundaries. continuously innovating.
We are not restricted to pure polyester
We are constantly researching and building our materials database with new blends to develop targeted reaction recipes to optimize polyester extraction. We embrace the complexity and welcome different fiber compositions and finishes.
