Unique ecosystem recycling cotton, polyester and polycotton.
With RE&UP, we broaden the scope of accessible waste streams through our one-of-a-kind patent-pending proprietary process.
As a feedstock agnostic solution, our technology can effectively recycle a wide range of blends: cotton, polyester and polycotton.
This allows RE&UP to reuse the majority of collected textile waste types (pre- and post-consumer), requiring less sorted, less specific material to feed its two parallel recycling processes: one for high cotton content and the other for high polyester content.
Through the combination of advanced mechanical and thermomechanical technologies, RE&UP manages to segregate polycotton blends into new pure materials for recycling, the go-to alternative to virgin options.
WHY RE&UP?
Tech it to the Next-Gen.
Over 100 million tons of textile waste were generated in 2023 alone. Of these, only 1% got recycled. Close to 90% was landfilled or burned.
This scenario, where planet conservation and resource preservation are highly at risk, is a problem that the industry cannot ignore. We owe it to society to do better, and with more and more demanding legislations and policies being constantly implemented in this field, it is imperative that we act now.
That’s exactly where RE&UP comes in.
It’s essential to reuse waste and to create recycled materials that become the new standard, in order to change and challenge the status quo.
It’s essential to provide a solution truly at scale that fill the demand and supply gap in high-performance recycled fibers, which is expected to hit 44 million tons by 2030 – more than 30% of the total fiber demand.
It’s essential for recycling technologies to engineer Next-Gen fibers that make the difference for the Next-Gen of people.
Our RE&UP scaled solution can actually help to close the wide recycled material gap with a prospective capacity of over 1 M tons – globally.
A win-win for fashion brands, textile waste players, people and nature.
The one-stop solution provider
High-performance, ready-to-use, traceable Next-Gen fibers.
RE&UP’s unique recycled process results into two main outputs:
Next-Gen Cotton
These newly made raw materials are on par with virgin ones and outperform other types of recycled fibers in terms of quality and performance:
- strong fiber length for immediate applicability for yarns, fabrics and garments today, for large-scale fashion collections
- full decolorization
- total adaptability to conventional spinning methods
- ready-to-use for a swift industrial application
- 100% traceability
