In the current fashion market, the most widely used fabrics are textile blends, which have proven hard-to-recycle using traditional methods and technologies. In a bid to close the recyclability gap, H&M's charitable arm, the H&M Foundation, last year opened a pre-industrial sized ‘Garment to Garment’ recycling facility in Hong Kong. The facility uses innovative hydrothermal recycling technology to separate textile blends and will be used by H&M exclusively to begin with.
