STITCHLOCK™ by CLIMATEX
Circularity Starts at Thread Level
Small component, big impact: The biodegradable STITCHLOCK™ sewing thread by CLIMATEX enables “design for disassembly” and lays the groundwork for high-quality textile recycling.
Seams define how textile products are built. STITCHLOCK™ redefines what happens at end of life. Engineered as a dissolvable thread, STITCHLOCK™ is integrated directly into textile construction. It enables controlled disassembly along the seams, separating products into their original components, including zippers, buttons and labels. No cutting. No manual deconstruction. Designed for scalable disassembly.
Product advantages
- Easy recycling, even for complex garments
- Supports design for disassembly (targeted disassembly)
- Clean separation of materials into their original components
- Seams dissolve under heat, pressure, and water
- Suitable for both chemical and mechanical recycling
- Safe breakdown in wastewater treatment systems
- Depending on application for bobbin only
