"We believe in a more scalable and local approach — the Re-Fresh Open Loop - upcycling trash to trusted industrial products and commodities."
Of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tons end up in landfills. That’s the equivalent of a garbage truck full of clothes ending up on a landfill site every second.
Re-Fresh Global upcycles mixed and unsorted textile waste into chemicals and raw materials. Most modern-day textile wastes are blends of natural and synthetic components. Re-Fresh’s industrial process separates these components. The synthetics are upcycled into Re-SanPulp – a synthetic non-woven textile pulp that finds uses across the built environment. The natural components – such as cellulose-rich cotton are refined into Re-Nano: A patented microfibrillated cellulose with use cases across industries, from food, to electronics, to materials. Re-Fresh is slated to set up a pilot plant with SOEX, one of Europe’s largest textile redistributors.
