Hengyi Petrochemical (SHE:000703) plans to invest 1 billion yuan to build a 300,000 ton per year circular new materials demonstration project in China's Hubei Province.
The project will use proprietary patented technology to recycle discarded clothing and waste textiles, converting them into high-performance recycled polyester materials and specialty fibers, according to a weekend filing with the Shenzhen bourse.
Construction is expected to take 18 months.
