MISSION
Change the textile industry
The fashion and fiber production of today is causing massive-scale pollution – and the demand for fiber only seem to increase. At Textile Change our aim is to guide the textile industry into a future of responsible use of resources
by developing new technology for recycling of textile waste
Introducing a circular model for textiles
Rethinking
fiber flows
Today, a staggering 10% of global carbon emissions stem from the textile and fashion industry*. Yet less than 1% of the material used to produce clothing is recycled into new clothing**.
At Textile Change we are developing a technology that turns textile waste into raw material for fiber production. This will enable a future where raw material – like cotton and polyester – no longer have to be produced and moved across
the globe at the cost of climate and environment. Insted, we can transform the loads of locally present textile waste to make a recycled fiber that is just as good as new.

Our Technology
Molecular level innovation
Our technology treats fibers at molecular level. By doing this we aim to separate textile blends as well as pure textiles without degrading fibers, so that used textiles can be transformed into new clothes:
The input is discarded textiles, the output is cellulose and polyester ready to be spun into new clothes.
We are constantly looking to refine our technology to further minimize energy consumption and broaden the scope of our enterprise.
story
Idealism turned into technology
Back in 2019, three engineering students started experimenting in the lab looking for new and better ways to recycle textiles. The results were promising, and in 2020 Textile Change was founded.
Several people have since joined the team, and at TC we are currently establshing a test plant. This plant is to be followed by the first commercial plant.
Our mission is the same now as in the very beginning: We are driven by a desire to change the way textiles are produced and recycled. A circular future is possible.
