Sorting/Cutting
Join us on a journey towards a textile industry!
Turning textile waste into valuable new fibers is what our innovative technology is all about.
Closed loop recycling
SaXcell closes the loop; used textiles collected and sorted are the feedstock for making high quality new fibers.
Used textiles are transformed into new raw materials (Man Made Cellulose Fibers) for making new textiles.
SaXcell fibers can be used in existing supply chains.
No changes to existing textile production equipment anywhere in the supply chain are necessary for using SaXcell fibers.
Used SaXcell fibers can serve as feedstock for the same process again.
Of course we recommend using the products (garments or household textiles) as long as possible before recycling again.

Benefits to the environment
Using textile waste as feedstock requires much less water, land, and chemicals compared to growing conventional cotton.
SaXcell stems from the belief that by turning used textiles into new textiles, we can reduce (or avoid) the depletion of natural resources, which in turn contributes to safeguarding the livelihoods of future
generations.
Our process uses about 10 liters of water per kg SaXcell, whereas for growing cotton, water consumption is at least 2000 liters of water per kg of cotton.
Saxcell offers a solution for the millions of garments that are incinerated or put to landfill every day.
We challenge ourselves to design our processes in the most sustainable way possible and share our experience for others to follow suit. Therefore, SaXcell uses the most sustainable chemical recycling process
available: a lyocell process.
In this eco-friendly process, the used cotton textiles are dissolved in a closed-loop system without any potentially harmful chemicals. Water and chemicals are recycled during the process.

It’s Black Friday season again
While the deals might be tempting, it’s worth pausing to think about the true cost behind them. The textile industry produces 150 billion garments a year, many of which end up in landfills, harming our planet.
SaXcell ranks 6th in the Circular Economy category of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK) Innovation Top 100!
This recognition celebrates our commitment to driving innovation and sustainability in the textile industry.
