Does disposal guidance change if treated fabric is blended with elastane or other difficult-to-recycle fibres?
How a garment is cut, sewn, decorated, repaired and disposed of is the work of the party that makes it, and C-POLAR publishes none of it.
The Terms of Use state: “A prospective partner or manufacturer must perform its own testing, validation, compatibility work, safety review, risk review, and quality controls for its proposed product and use.” They also state: “A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.” The About page states that development runs configuration by configuration, and that each partner controls what is said about the work.
NanoFlashing™ is a permanent property of the finished products the partner makes, and it is a property of the material that carries it, so an area of a garment that is not made of that material does not carry it. The Terms of Use state that, as of their effective date, the Textiles chapter describes a Research Application, and that it does not describe a finished product currently available from C-POLAR for that use.
