Technology
Renewcell’s business rests on a unique and patent-protected process technology developed by world-leading cellulose chemistry researchers.
The process
We receive used garments and textile production waste with high cellulosic content, like cotton or viscose.
The textiles are shredded, de-buttoned, de-zipped, de-colored and turned into a slurry.
Contaminants and other non-cellulosic content are separated from the slurry.
The slurry is dried to produce CIRCULOSE®, a branded ‘dissolving pulp’ made from 100% recycled textiles.
The sheets of CIRCULOSE® are finally packaged into bales and fed back into the textile production value chain as a biobased equal-quality replacement for virgin materials like cotton, oil and wood.
