How Our Technology Works

CelluCircle’s patented technology is built on a highly efficient, one-step fractionation process that enables the separation of fibers in cotton-based textiles.

The cotton component is transformed into nanocellulose, while the remaining synthetic fibers—such as polyester, elastane, and acrylics—are recovered without generating secondary pollution.

This innovative, green, and scalable approach eliminates the need for complex and costly multi-step processes.

CelluCircle’s process is water-based, operates at low temperatures, and uses mild chemicals in a closed-loop system, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Beyond textile recycling, our patented technology opens doors to a wide range of end-market applications. The nanocellulose and nanocomposites produced can replace fossil-based plastics in industries such as 3D printing, injection molding, automotive manufacturing, packaging, and advanced materials development.

One of the key strengths of CelluCircle’s technology is its ability to process a broad range of cotton-based feedstocks, including blended fabrics. This breakthrough approach has the potential to revolutionize the textile industry while providing sustainable and high-value materials for diverse industrial applications.

By combining sustainability, efficiency, and scalability, our patented solution paves the way for a truly circular economy in textiles and beyond.

"I am proud to drive CelluCircle’s journey from academia to commercialization, transforming discarded textiles into high-performance products at the forefront of innovation".
