Our future is an intricate blend of equal parts circularity and quality

Earth. We have a problem!

The fashion industry produces 150 billion garments every year.

85% of textiles end up in landfills and incinerators.

Only a small fraction of the garments are recycled, and of those, 99% become lower-quality products.

Worn Again allows for a new circular solution:
produce – recycle – re-spin
No fibre is going to waste

Our world is a world of a linear economy. From production to discard, products have a consistently shorter life span.

Produce
Use
Discard

Our economy generates massive waste. Time to break this pattern.

Worn Again closes the loop:

Recycle

Our innovative technology puts quality materials back into the value chain.

Waste is out of fashion. 
Recycling is the new fab.

The results:
Forests
Forest preservation is vital for climate stability, biodiversity conservation, and the protection of life on Earth.
Water
Recycling textiles requires less water than producing new fabrics, as it eliminates irrigation for cotton cultivation.
Energy
Repurposing materials consumes less energy than producing new fibers and fabrics, lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
Landfill Space
Diverting waste from landfills makes this land available for more productive & valuable activities.

We accept white or dyed textiles.

Elastane & Acrylics pose no difficulties as they are removed in a novel separation process.

The recycled PET pellets are extruded into PET fibres.
Cellulose pulp is converted into viscose or lyocell.
