Carbon Capture Polyester Woven Fabric

1/

Ethylene glycol (EG) is a raw material used in the production of polyester fibres. The Mailiao EG Plant operated by Nan Ya Plastics Corporation generates approximately 380,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year during production. Of this amount, approximately 280,000 tonnes are released into the atmosphere, while approximately 100,000 tonnes per year are recovered through a carbon-capture system. The captured carbon dioxide is converted into ethylene glycol through chemical reactions. The resulting ethylene glycol undergoes esterification and polycondensation with purified terephthalic acid (PTA) to produce polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin. The resin is then melt-spun into polyester fibres. These fibres can be processed into woven fabric. Finishing processes that provide moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties can further improve moisture dissipation, breathability and resistance to repeated washing. The fabric is suitable for functional textile products such as sports shorts. more
