CHT Group Champions Textile Recyclability with TUBICOAT PET-H on Global Recycling Day
Tübingen - March 2026 – In observance of Global Recycling Day, CHT Group has announced a renewed commitment to solving the ongoing challenges of textile recyclability with its latest innovation, TUBICOAT PET-H.
Developed in collaboration with automotive industry partners, this advanced single-material solution aims to drastically reduce textile waste by addressing the complex material combinations that traditionally hinder the recycling process.
The textile industry currently faces significant hurdles in sustainable waste management. Because many textile products consist of complex material blends, proper separation by type is notoriously difficult, leading to a substantial amount of valuable material ending up in landfill.
Shifting the industry narrative from waste to opportunity and innovation, CHT Group is dedicated to designing products that actively support recyclability from the ground up.
TUBICOAT PET-H exemplifies this forward-thinking approach.
Co-created with automotive customers, the product offers a wide range of applications whilst combining high durability, weight reduction, and inherent flame retardancy, entirely without the need for additional chemical additives.
Crucially, TUBICOAT PET-H functions as a single-material solution.
This means it is manufactured from the exact same material used in end products, such as car floor mats, making it entirely recyclable at the end of its lifecycle.
By eliminating the need for complex separation, CHT Group is paving the way for a more sustainable, ethical, and future-proof textile manufacturing sector.
