ONE PLATFORM. TWO SYSTEMS.
A materials platform for textile circularity.
Earth Protex builds the technologies and infrastructure that turns textile waste into commercial-scale recycled materials. Two product systems sit on top of this platform. Tex2Tex® delivers textile-to-textile recycled polyester. Upspun® upgrades recycled fibers into performance yarns.

Three decades engineering
what comes next in textiles.
Dozens of first-to-market innovations — from the early commercial hemp programs with Adidas, Levi’s, Nike, Patagonia and VF, to the first certified organic linen and fibers made from agricultural waste. That same spirit of innovation now powers Tex2Tex® at industrial scale.
