An innovative approach to textile recycling and the persistent efforts of CLUTEX – Klastr Technické textilie have led to the development of recycled solid boards made from garment waste. These boards are used in the production of clothes hangers and have potential applications in the construction industry.

It will become one of the few Czech research organizations capable of characterizing materials using a confocal microscope.
