Abstract
A closed-loop system for the utilization of recycled woven and/or non-woven polyester fabric products in a plurality of high occupancy facilities includes at least one manufacturing facility to produce a plurality of recycled polyester fabric products from a recycled polyester fabric feedstock. A distribution network transports the plurality of recycled polyester fabric products to each of the plurality of high occupancy facilities, and a housekeeping network distributes and arranges recycled polyester fabric products in a plurality of rooms in a corresponding high occupancy facility. A collection network transports a plurality of compacted polyester fabric products from each of the plurality of high occupancy facilities back to the manufacturing facility. A corresponding closed-loop method for implementing the aforementioned closed-loop system is also disclosed.
