HKRITA Signed Two Technology Licenses

HKRITA has licensed two of its R&D projects, “Thermal, Touch and Biomechanical Comfort of Bedding System” and the Green Machine, further promoting the R&D manufacturing and recycling of the industry.

Sun Sea Mattresses Manufacturing Company Limited, which owns the well-known local bedding brand Sweetdream, acquired the technology license of “Thermal, Touch and Biomechanical Comfort of Bedding System” this April. This collaboration will enable the manufacturer to leverage the project technology in product development, providing better and more comfortable products for the market.

Furthermore, the US-based textile recycler Looptworks has officially obtained the technology license of Green Machine - Post-consumer Blended Textile Separation and Recycling by Hydrothermal Treatment and Decolourisation of PET from Post-consumer Textile. Looptworks will integrate these technologies into its recycling facilities, which marks a critical milestone in the Green Machine’s journey towards industrial-scale deployment. Looking ahead, the Green Machine 2.0 will soon commence operation in the Open Lab, further supporting the industry to deal with the recycling of blended textiles.
