Matter, a UK-based company, and Paradise Textiles, a leading textile manufacturer, have launched a groundbreaking collaboration to bring a pioneering technology to the market. The technology, Regen.™ for Textile Production, aims to reduce microfibre pollution from textile production by implementing a self-cleaning filtration system.
The fashion industry is responsible for significant microfibre emissions, with around 120,000 tonnes of pre-consumer microfibre emissions entering waterways each year. This pollution can have serious consequences for the environment and human health.
Regen.™ uses Matter’s patented self-cleaning filtration technology to capture microfibres without the carbon impact of traditional solutions. The technology is low energy and low cost, making it a viable solution for textile manufacturers worldwide.
The collaboration will implement the technology at Paradise Textiles’ new state-of-the-art low-impact fabric mill in Egypt. Once operational, the mill will serve as a showcase for manufacturers and brands to adopt the new filtration device.
The technology has the potential to reduce microfibre pollution across all 150,000 global textile factories, and could reduce carbon emissions by over 2,000 tonnes annually per manufacturing site.
“We are excited to be working with Paradise Textiles to bring this innovation to market,” said Adam Root, Founder and CEO of Matter. “This technology has the potential to make a real difference in reducing microfibre pollution in the fashion industry.”
The implementation of Regen.™ for Textile Production is expected to have far-reaching benefits for the environment and human health by reducing microfibre pollution and protecting waterways.
