Summary
Renasens (Stockholm, Sweden) has developed a waterless textile-recycling process that uses supercritical CO2 to recover intact fibers from cotton, polyester, and blended post-consumer textiles, enabling efficient conversion of end-of-life garments back into usable materials and addressing one of the fastest-growing global waste streams.

What do you think will be the biggest hurdle to scaling supercritical CO2 textile recycling—technology costs, collection and sorting of waste, or brand adoption?

Textile waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally, and there are limited options available to efficiently recycle end-of-life textiles into useful materials. A new recycling approach developed by Renasens (Stockholm, Sweden utilizes supercritical CO2 to recover intact fibers from cotton, polyester and blended post-consumer textiles.
