TU Wien focuses on removing elastane from textiles containing this polymer. In order to perform tests on separate elastane from textiles, procurement of pure elastane was necessary. The supply of pure elastane in weaved or yarn form from project partners or external industrial partners was not feasible. Therefore, TU Wien produced pure elastane via enzymatic hydrolysis of a viscose/elastane textile.
