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 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 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® 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 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.
