Epoch Biodesign unlocks infinite fibre-to-fibre recycling for complex, blended textiles by engineering nature’s most powerful machines: enzymes. Their first process enables the infinite recycling of blended Nylon 6,6 materials that currently have no other solution, and they are building their first production facility, open at the end of 2025.
eeden GmbH
eeden is a tech company based in Münster, Germany, pioneering the chemical recycling of cotton-polyester textiles. Founded in 2019, eeden has developed a breakthrough technology that efficiently separates and recovers cellulose and PET monomers, which fiber producers transform into virgin-quality lyocell, viscose, and polyester fibers – enabling the transition toward a fully circular textile industry.
Ecosis
Ecosis is an industrial-scale textile-to-textile polyester recycling platform backed by Filatex India Limited, one of India’s leading polyester manufacturers with over three decades of expertise. We have developed a patented chemical recycling process that converts pre- and post-consumer textile waste into virgin-grade recycled polyester chips. Our technology addresses the critical need for circular polyester by enabling high-quality, scalable, and traceable recycled material suitable for existing spinning infrastructure. Ecosis operates a pilot facility and is commissioning a commercial plant with a capacity of approximately 26,000 MT per annum. Our Life Cycle Assessment (ISO-compliant) demonstrates significant reductions in carbon emissions, fossil resource use, and water consumption compared to virgin PET. Ecosis supports global brands in achieving circularity, decarbonization, and regulatory compliance goals through certified, textile-based feedstock solutions.
DyeRecycle
DyeRecycle is an award-winning colour and fibre innovation company based in London, UK. Our vision is a world where textiles are produced sustainably through circular processes and localised supply chains, creating a positive impact on the planet. We specialise in innovative solutions for recycling synthetic textile waste, addressing one of the most pressing challenges in the fashion and textile industry. Our cutting-edge technology separates dyes from fibres, enabling both components to be recycled independently and supporting a truly circular economy. With a strong commitment to sustainability and advanced material science, DyeRecycle reduces reliance on virgin resources while offering scalable, high-performance solutions that foster creativity. By collaborating with industry leaders across the recycling and fashion sectors, we are reshaping the management of textile waste to build a more sustainable future.
DePoly
DePoly is a Swiss cleantech company pioneering advanced recycling solutions for PET plastics and polyester textiles. Founded in 2020 , DePoly has developed a proprietary chemical recycling process that operates at room temperature and standard pressure. This innovative method breaks down unsorted and contaminated PET waste—including multilayer packaging and blended textiles—into its original monomers: purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono-ethylene glycol (MEG). These monomers are then used to produce new, virgin-quality PET products, effectively closing the loop in the plastic lifecycle without relying on fossil fuels.
Circ Inc.
Circ® is proving that textile recycling is scalable. With patented textile-to-textile recycling technology, Circ turns discarded polycotton blended fabric into virgin equivalent material. By separating and recovering polyester and cellulose from polycotton, Circ’s breakthrough technology is among the first market-tested solutions for one of the industry’s most common and least recyclable materials. Headquartered in Danville, Virginia, and expanding globally with its first industrial-scale facility underway in France, Circ is building the infrastructure for a circular fashion economy at scale. The company’s technology is backed by leading global investors and its materials, Circ® Lyocell and Circ® Polyester, are already in use through collaborations with leading brands spanning luxury to mass market.
