Abstract[English] The invention relates to a method for selectively dissolving polyurethane from a textile. The method comprises the steps of - providing a textile comprising polyurethane and/or polyurethane-based fibers and/or comprising a polyurethane and/or a polyurethane-based coating; - contacting the textile with a solvent to dissolve the polyurethane fibers and/or polyurethane- based fibers and/or to dissolve the polyurethane coating and/or the polyurethane-based coating thereby forming a solution, the solvent comprising a urea-based compound and/or a thiourea-based compound. Furthermore, the invention relates to a solvent mixture suitable for selectively dissolving polyurethane from a textile comprising polyurethane and/or polyurethane-based fibers or from a textile comprising a polyurethane and/or a polyurethane-based coating.[French] L'invention concerne un procédé de dissolution sélective de polyuréthane à partir d'un textile. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à - fournir un textile comprenant des fibres de polyuréthane et/ou à base de polyuréthane et/ou comprenant un revêtement de polyuréthane et/ou à base de polyuréthane ; - mettre en contact le textile avec un solvant pour dissoudre les fibres de polyuréthane et/ou les fibres à base de polyuréthane et/ou pour dissoudre le revêtement de polyuréthane et/ou le revêtement à base de polyuréthane, ce qui permet de former une solution, le solvant comprenant un composé à base d'urée et/ou un composé à base de thiourée. En outre, l'invention concerne un mélange de solvants approprié pour dissoudre sélectivement du polyuréthane à partir d'un textile comprenant des fibres de polyuréthane et/ou à base de polyuréthane ou à partir d'un textile comprenant un revêtement de polyuréthane et/ou à base de polyuréthane.
