Step into a world free of textile waste & microplastic
We are contributing to the world´s transition toward a circular economy, by developing a waterless & clean technology to recycle agricultural and blended textile wastes to new resources.
Renasens turns agricultural and textile wastes into valuable raw materials with its scalable and commercially viable technology, yet avoid the use of water, harmful chemicals and energy intensive processes. We are scaling a breakthrough technology to create a future where waste is a resource.
THE IMPACT OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
92
million tonnes of textile waste is generated each year
93
billion cubic metres of water is used annually in the textile industry
87%
of all discarded clothing ends up in a landfill or incinerated
35%
of microplastic in the environment is from the textile industry
THE SCIENCE
Renasens develops a patent pending waterless technology to remove dyes & additives from textile waste, recycle pure and blended textile wastes, and functionalize the fibers in order to mitigate the microplastic release during their life time. We use fluids and clean components to dissolve the cellulosic material without depolymerisation or degradation of the non-cellulosic material. We tune the fluidic phase to extract and impregnate additives and colorants to pure and blended textiles.
Our expert team of interdisciplinary scientists include the inventor of the technology. Together, we are scaling a commercially valuable technology that create a future free of textile wastes and microplastic.
THE MARKET
Textile exchange reports that the global fiber production in the last two decades has doubled, reaching 113 million tonnes in 2021, with an estimated increase to 149 million tonnes in 2030 if current business practices continue. While 8,5% of fibers in 2021 were primarily sourced from PET bottles, less than 1% came from fiber to fiber recycling. To limit the impact of the textile industry on the planet, it is crucial to limit the overconsumption, prioritise the use of circular raw materials, clean processes and mitigate the microplastic release. This shift is critical for reducing greenhouse emissions, minimising water consumption, preserving biodiversity, and effectively changing our linear economical system to a circular one.

Our mission is to contribute limiting the impact of the textile industry on the planet. We build a future where the true cost of natural resources is acknowledgeable and honoured.
