Abstract:
Methods for recycling post-consume polyester-based fabric materials such as hospital linens. The methods include decontaminating a post-consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) product and polymerizing the decontaminated PET product via solid state polymerization to generate a polymerized PET product. The post-consumer PET product may include a polyester-based fabric. The post-consumer PET product may retain essentially the same shape and form during and after recycling and decontamination as before recycling.
