SaXcell, an abbreviation of Saxion cellulose, is a regenerated virgin textile fibre made from chemical recycled domestic cotton waste. The process to transfer domestic cotton waste into SaXcell fibre is a crucial step in the circular textile chain.

Next, the pure waste stream is grinded and non-textile components like zippers, nails and buttons are removed. The result is a dry mixture of textile fibres with different fibre lengths. All fibre lengths, long and short, are suitable as raw material for SaXcell.

The end product of this step is SaXcell, a regenerated virgin cellulose fibre. The fibre can be cut to specified lengths, spun into yarns and woven or knitted into fabrics. Colouring can take place at the fibre, yarn or fabric.
