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.
