REFACT

Refact, our textile recycling technology is a game-changer in addressing the colossal 92 million tonnes of textile waste that are burnt or landfilled yearly. We can regenerate new viscose fibres from very poorly sorted to unsorted waste, with a particular focus on complex post-consumer waste, including multi-composition materials (minimum of 70% cellulosic content) and multi-coloured used garments with trims such as buttons, zippers, labels, etc. Our approach offers a significant and enduring impact on both environmental and economic fronts. By diverting a substantial portion of textile waste from landfills and incinerators, we drastically reduce the environmental footprint of the textile industry and alleviate pressure on natural resources. Canopy estimate that recycling just 25% of global pre- and post-consumer cotton and 25% of Manmade Cellulosic Fibres textile waste could replace all wood fibres (around 150 million trees per year) currently used in manufacturing MMCF/viscose.
