Description

Fibre innovations aid the creation of circular textile and apparel supply chains


For the foreseeable future, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polyester will remain by far the most widely used type of fibre in textile and garment production. As such, the establishment of solid infrastructure for the fibre-to-fibre recycling of PET is critical. Already, some work is under way to scale up a fibre-to-fibre recycled PET (FFrPET) industry, and some companies are making major investments in recycling facilities and related recycling projects. These companies include: Andritz Laroche; Ambercycle; Carbios; Eastman; Inditex; Indorama; Loop Industries; SK Geo Centric (SKGC); and Suez. At the same time, much work is being carried out in order to develop processes for recycling textiles containing elastane fibres, which are difficult to recycle. Meanwhile, in the cellulosic fibre industry, pulp and fibre producers are investing in new capacity. Also, a number of start-up companies based in Scandinavia have developed new fibres based on so-called “next generation” feedstocks and are in the process of constructing and ramping up production in commercial-scale factories.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
