Innovative and sustainable solution for the growing textile waste problemOn average, people in the Netherlands throw away forty pieces of clothing each year, most of which end up in incinerators. SaXcell offers an eco-friendly alternative by converting household cotton waste into new fibers.SaXcell’s recycling process turns old cotton clothing into pulp, which is then used to create new textile fibers. This process is more environmentally friendly than traditional cotton production because it doesn’t require farmland or pesticides, and it uses less water. Moreover, the solvent used in the process can be reused by more than 99%.A circular textile future in TwenteWith projects like RegioGreenTex, SaXcell is making significant strides towards a fully circular textile industry in Twente. By reusing textile waste and reducing its ecological footprint, SaXcell demonstrates that a sustainable future for the textile industry is achievable.European RegioGreenTex project boosts textile recyclingRegioGreenTex is a European collaborative project aimed at identifying, mitigating, and ultimately encouraging investment in the challenges currently faced by the systematic circular economy within the textile industry ecosystem across the EU. RegioGreenTex supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in finding innovations for textile fiber recycling and valorization, scaling up new technologies, and integrating these into industrial processes.Within RGT, <a href="oostnl.nl" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Oost NL</a> is leading the creation of regional textile recycling ecosystems. We are part of the Lowlands hub, where Oost NL, as one of five hubs, will serve as a model for other regions. The Lowlands hub consists of three regions: Flanders, East Netherlands, and Northern France, with 12 involved RegioGreenTex partners.
