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.

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.
Textile-to-Fibre Accelerator
Worn Again is scaling a closed-loop chemical recycling technology that will revolutionize the global fashion industry.
