MacroCycle Technologies

MacroCycle transforms textile waste into virgin-quality recycled polyester through our breakthrough SolvoGenesis™ process—the world’s first commercially viable textile-to-textile upcycling technology at price parity. Unlike conventional chemical recycling that breaks polymers down into monomers (requiring energy-intensive re-polymerization), or mechanical recycling that degrades material quality, our patented process directly upgrades polymer chains through macrocyclic intermediates in a non-toxic solvent. This preserves polymer integrity while removing dyes, cotton, elastane, and other contaminants. The result is a chemically identical virgin-grade polyester pellets that function as a true drop-in replacement for brands and mills without compromising on quality or adding a green premium. With 80% less energy than fossil-based production and 60-70% less than competing technologies, MacroCycle enables fashion brands to achieve textile-to-textile circularity at price parity, transforming the economics of sustainable materials.

LIST Technology

LIST Technology AG is a technology provider of processing solutions based on unique Continuous Mixing-Kneading Reactors. LIST is based in Switzerland and globally active since 1966. LIST Kneading Reactors are designed • to be charged with solids, gases, liquids, fluffs or textile shreds • for intensive mixing and kneading • highly viscous, sticky, crust-forming, solid-liquid phase-changing or granular/solid multi-phase mixtures, pastes, suspensions, solutions • while heating or cooling • under medium pressure, ambient or vacuum conditions • optionally removing large vapor streams • discharging highly viscous, sticky, granular/solid products • in a continuous operation • from small pilot up to world scale. LIST Kneading Reactors are used for textile recycling by – mixing shreds of textile blends (polycotton, poly-poly) – for a glycolysis, hydrolysis, depolymerization, or dissolving of one component – at multi-phases – in a continuous mode. LIST operates a 4-bay piloting center in Switzerland to support customer projects from simple lab batch feasibility trials to sophisticated continuous pilot trials – always keeping the industrial implementation in mind. LIST technology is also available for basic R&D and recipe development as the LIST Lab Kneader fits in a fume hood.
