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

*Textile Exchange Conference Denver 2022 – Napcor Presentation

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.
