2013

Investment from H&M, pivot to technology

To accelerate the adoption of chemical recycling, supported by H&M and Kering, the company pivots to focus on technology development

2017

Funds secured to build the pilot plant.

Worn Again raises £1 million from existing and new investors to move out from the laboratory phase.
2019

First pilot plant

Start-up of a pilot plant validates the technology. The pilot plant is capable of processing 5kg batches of textiles, a 100x increase from lab scale.
2022

Funding secured for scale up

Worn Again raises £30 million from strategic shareholders to scale its technology to the next step.
2025

Accelerating circular production

We have started construction of a Textile-to-Fibre Accelerator recycling plant. The first production module of the plant will be delivered and start commissioning in Q4 2025, demonstrating circular PET from polycotton textile waste. A future upgrade will produce cellulose fibres.

… coming in 2025
Accelerating circular production
We will build a Textile-to-Fiber Accelerator to produce circular PET and MMCF fibres. Used textiles will be converted into polyester and cellulose for use within a new circular supply chain. 
Innovative textile recycling solutions revolutionize the fashion industry.
The Accelerator will process 200kg batches of polycottons.

Green fibers

Offer eco-friendly solutions, with benefits like sustainability and reduced environmental impact. They promote renewable resources, contributing to a cleaner planet.
We have a historic opportunity to protect natural resources

We need to look deeper beyond the materials on the molecular level
