We’re excited to join PIKTECH 2024 – the 5th Denizli Textile Fair from November 7-9 in Denizli, Turkey. We are joining forces with our partner Uğurlular Tekstil.
Cotton’s high water demands are especially concerning in regions with limited resources, where agriculture competes with other essential needs like food. According to the WWF, producing just one cotton t-shirt can use up to 2,700 liters of water—enough to sustain one person for 2.5 years—placing serious stress on the environment.
By preparing to incorporate upcoming guidelines like Eco-design Criteria (ESPR) and the Waste Framework Directive, we’re reinforcing our commitment to building sustainable supply chains.
Join us at the Sustainable Textiles Event 2024, organized by Smithers, where our CEO, Erik van der Weerd, will show how SaXcell is transforming textile waste into high-quality cellulose fibers.
By transforming used cotton textiles into regenerated fibers, we reduce dependence on virgin resources and keep valuable materials in circulation. As we work towards a circular economy, we believe that innovation and collaboration will lead to a more sustainable textile industry.
Reducing the environmental footprint of fashion starts with smarter material choices. This chart highlights how recycled fibers significantly cut down on water usage, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions compared to virgin fibers.
