SINGTEX® Wins R&D 100 Award with RePUra™ Technology
On October 22, 2025, SINGTEX® Group, a global leader in high-performance and sustainable textile manufacturing, proudly announced that its RePUra™ technology, developed through the Circu-Texfilm project, has been awarded the Global Top 100 Technology R&D Award (R&D 100 Awards).
This groundbreaking technology represents the world's first chemical "textile-to-textile" patented recycling solution for complex composite textiles, successfully addressing one of the industry's most daunting challenges and opening a new chapter for the true circularity of global textile sustainability.
变废为宝：革命性的化学突破
Over 120 million tons of textile waste is generated globally each year, but less than 1% of it can be recycled into new textiles.
Most waterproof and breathable garments are made from composite materials based on polyurethane, polyester, and spandex, which are extremely difficult to separate and recycle using traditional mechanical methods.
RePUra™ utilizes innovative chemical depolymerization and repolymerization technology to break down polyurethane-rich composite waste into high-purity molecular components, which are then used to create high-performance recycled polyurethane materials.
This groundbreaking technology achieves molecular-level circular regeneration, giving new life to textile waste that was once considered unrecyclable.
Streamline the process to achieve an infinite loop.
Compared to traditional recycling processes that require complex sorting and decolorization, RePUra™ can directly process textile waste and old clothes of any color and composition, significantly reducing carbon emissions while simplifying the process.
The regenerated polyurethane materials produced are low in carbon and free of fluorine, aligning with global sustainable development goals and corporate ESG commitments.
Performance Upgrade: The Perfect Balance of Functionality and Sustainability
RePUra™ not only represents a breakthrough in sustainability but also a significant advancement in textile performance.
Its lightweight recycled film has outstanding performance: waterproof rating exceeds 20,000 mmH₂O and moisture permeability exceeds 20,000 g/m²·24 hours, achieving a perfect balance between protection and comfort.
These ultra-waterproof, breathable, flexible, and lightweight fabrics are ideal for outdoor clothing, footwear, military gear, and medical applications.
RePUra™ contains more than 50% recycled materials, not only surpassing global sustainability standards but also highlighting SINGTEX® Group's commitment to combining high performance with environmental responsibility.
Leading the Future of Textile Recycling
RePUra™ has won the R&D 100 Award for its innovation and global impact, marking an important milestone in promoting sustainable transformation in the textile industry.
The SINGTEX® Group continues to advance a traceable circular textile value chain, demonstrating that recycling is not the end, but the starting point of rebirth.
A spokesperson for SINGTEX® Group stated, "RePUra™ is not just a technological innovation; it is a concrete practice of sustainability. 'Function reshaping, sustainable future' has always been the driving force behind our mission to lead the textile industry towards a truly circular future."
