Rethink Textile Circularity
Tex2Tex™ offers an innovative new solution for the most common textile fiber globally – Polyester. Offering virtually limitless material circularity that is cost-competitive, scalable and low-impact.
The Problem:
The Recycling Gap
“To stay within the 1.5-degree pathway...
we need to bring the share of mechanically recycled (or equivalent) fiber/filament within the polyester market from 14% to 90% by 2030.”
– Textile Exchange 2025 RPET Challenge

10m MT Gap
RPET Demand Set to Outpace Supply by 2025
Textile industry & beverage industry targeting, 45% and 25% RPET content, respectively, by 2025 (legislated & voluntary). There is set to be a major gap in recycled polyester raw materials of around 10 million metric tons by 2025.

Beyond Bottles™
Currently, bottle flake RPET represents 99% of the market RPET market. However, the fashion industry needs to move past downcycled single-use plastics and go Beyond Bottles™. Textile to textile recycling addresses the fashion industry’s waste problem and valorizes an underutilized waste stream.

The Solution:
Tex2Tex™ Recycling…
Tex2Tex™ is a high capacity, cost-competitive,
and low-impact polyester recycling technology. The Tex2Tex™ thermo-mechanical process improves the Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) and removes contamination through advanced filtration. Our process also reduces thermo-oxidative and sheer induced scissions and crosslinking.
Tex2Tex™
Competitive Advantage
Cost Competitive
Tex2Tex™ prices are lower than Unifi Repreve.
Large Capacity
50,000T/yr fiber production capacity.
Low Impact
Lowest impact polyester fiber in the marketplace.
Circular Tech = Reduced Impact
Energy Savings
Big energy savings through highly efficient processing and reducing/eliminating virgin raw material from fossil fuel sources. Process powered by biomass boilers and solar.
CO2 Reduction
Significant reduction in CO2 emissions with the Tex2Tex™ process relative to virgin synethtics and chemical recycling.
Water Saving
Compared to virgin polyster & other types of recycled polyester, the Tex2Tex™ system offers water saving.
Zero Waste Production System
All production losses throughout the Tex2Tex™ supply chain for polyester products are recycled back into Tex2Tex™ fiber.
Tex2Tex™ Product Applications
Tex2Tex™ is available in white, black and dope dye fibers, spun yarn and filaments, and finished fabrics. Tex2Tex™ materials are built for apparel, home textiles, industrial applications and beyond.
