Chemical recycling of cellulosic textile waste

Re:newcell has developed a solution to enable recycling of cotton and viscose fibers used in apparel. The solution works by collection of used garments, which is transformed to a biodegradable pulp to be used as feedstock for production of clothes. Utilizing usable material that would otherwise end up on landfills allows the apparel industry to save several thousand liters of water per kilo apparel and prevents chemicals and dyes from entering local biological systems, all while reducing the carbon footprint of the industry.
