Mixed Textiles Recycling Technology

The clothes we wear are fuelling the plastic crisis. Every year, 92 million tonnes of textile waste
are dumped or burned. Sixty percent of it is synthetic. The most problematic waste is mixed, soiled, torn textiles, like underwear, carpets, and fabric scraps, that even waste collectors reject.

This waste, typically headed straight for landfills or incinerators, represents the worst of textile pollution. But we have found a way to extract raw materials from the worst of it. And we do it ethically.

The Challenge

Mixed textile waste is too complex. So it is ignored. Post-consumer clothes are messy. Polyester is blended with cotton. Metal zips and elastics get stuck. They are dirty, shredded, stained, and stitched in layers.

Textile waste is a plastic problem and a people problem.
The people who sort our waste are unprotected, underpaid, and invisible. Most are women. Most are informal.

Our Approach

We extract polyester from complex textile waste and make it new. We have built a proprietary chemo mechanical textile recycling process that breaks apart complex fabric waste and isolates the good stuff.

Works with rejected, torn, soiled, post-consumer textile waste.
Extracts and purifies polyester into VerdiPTA.
Safer with no organic solvents, cheaper at scale, and cleaner with 120 degree water-based processing.
Leaves nothing behind, the rest is being turned into durable products like tiles.

Tackling Textile Waste: Without Fabrication

Enter

VerdiPTA is our 100% recycled Terephthalic Acid, extracted from “impossible-to-recycle” plastic waste such as multi-layered plastic, mixed blended textiles and coloured PET bottles. This material traditionally comes from fossil fuels, but we are
extracting it out of waste, waste that no one generally recycles.

High-quality Terephtahlic Acid that can be polymerized into
Virgin Polyester/PET at price parity (at scale).

What Makes Our Tech Unique

Handles real-world, dirty post-consumer waste.
No need to remove buttons, zips or labels.
No organic solvents or high-pressure equipment.
Vertically integrated from waste collection to purification.
Waste workers are part of our workforce, paid fairly and trained professionally.
Built in India, ready to scale globally.

The future of fashion cannot just be circular. It has to be spherical.

Our textile demo plant is almost live. We are preparing to scale.
