Fully compatible and adaptable within existing textile machinery and supply chain.

Compliant with current and upcoming EU ESG legislation for textiles

Can be recycled multiple times without loosing the quality

Our collaborators across the circular value chain

From yarn spinners to textile producers, our partners are bringing circularity to every thread

Lower impact, higher performance

98% less water compared to cotton

98% less water compared to cotton

Our process uses 40L of water per kg of SaXcell, while cotton consume 2000 Liters for Kg of cotton.

Zero microplastics

Zero microplastics

Unlike polyester, SaXcell® is a pure cellulose fiber with no synthetic residues.

Reliable fiber length & consistency

Reliable fiber length & consistency

Unlike many recycled fibers, SaXcell®’s production process delivers consistent fiber length and uniform quality for yarn spinners.

Industrial-scale readiness

Industrial-scale readiness

SaXcell® is produced at industrial scale within an existing supply chain in Europe and Asia.

Preserving natural resources

Preserving natural resources

No wood or other virgin inputs are required to produce SaXcell® pulp, giving nature more breathing space to heal.

A truly circular solution to the growing 1.4 billion tons of textile waste per year*

The recovered cellulose is regenerated into high-quality SaXcell® fiber using a closed-loop lyocell production process.

Regenerate into SaXcell® fiber

Cellulose is extracted from cotton-rich textile waste to serve as the raw material for new fibers.

Recover cellulose from waste

SaXcell® fiber is processed through existing textile supply chains for spinning, weaving, and garment production.

Reuse in existing supply chains

At the end of its life, SaXcell® based textiles can be recycled again, keeping the material in continuous use.

Frequently Asked Questions

SaXcell® fibers promote a circular textile economy by: Reducing the need for virgin cotton, saving vast amounts of water and agricultural land. Recycling chemicals and water in a closed loop. Lowering overall environmental impact compared to both cotton cultivation and traditional viscose recycling.

SaXcell is a regenerated man-made cellulose fiber made primarily from used cotton textiles through a chemical recycling process. It differs from conventional cotton and many synthetic fibers because it transforms textile waste into high-quality fibers with lower environmental impact – our process uses 40L of water per kg of SaXcell, while cotton consume 2000L for kg of cotton and avoiding harmful chemicals in a closed-loop process.

SaXcell fibers are compatible with standard textile production equipment and suitable for high-quality applications — including apparel, household textiles, and workwear fabrics. They are typically blended with other fibers such as cotton or wood pulp for performance and processing benefits.

SaXcell fibre is made by recycling cotton-rich textile waste. The textiles are collected, sorted, cleaned of non-cellulosic parts, and processed into pulp using SaXcell’s patented pulping step. This pulp is then converted into new fibres through a standard lyocell process. The current SaXcell L30 fibre contains 30% recycled textile cellulose and 70% standard lyocell pulp, making it compatible with existing textile production systems.

SaXcell technology is being scaled through strategic collaborations (for example with Birla Cellulose) to produce recycled man-made cellulosic fibers at commercial scale. The current pilot and commercial efforts aim to increase global availability while enabling brands and retailers to incorporate SaXcell into sustainable product lines.
