The textile industy is one of the most resource intense sectors in terms of water, raw materials, land and carbon emissions. Over 100 million tons of textiles are produced every year, and its increasing rapidly. However, only a fraction is recycled today. Most of post consumers textiles are land filled or incinerated. As a result, the textile industry represent more than 10% of global CO2 emissions.
We’re set to change this.
CelluCircle develops a unique and proprietary process for the sustainable recycling of post consumer textiles in mass volume. Our tolerant process recycles feedstock of almost all polycotton and synthetic fibre blends and colours. The original textile fibres are released and can be spun back into new clothes and textiles.
The process also allows for the direct production of nanocomposites from discarded textiles. These – recycled and biobased – composites can replace fossile based plastics in 3D printing, injection- and pressmoulding.
In short: our technology will save resources, energy and reduce pollution and CO2 emissions. Join us, our journey has just started.
