TURN TEXTILE WASTE INTO HIGH-VALUE CIRCULA MATERIALS RESPETTO is a patented hybrid technology and compact plant that transforms any textile waste into certified, high-performance secondary raw materials, directly at your facility, with low energy and water use. Regenstech is an innovative female-led startup and a benefit corporation founded in 2020. Its mission is to develop technological solutions that transform industrial and textile waste into high-quality secondary raw materials. THE PROBLEMSource:  © 2022 McKinsey & Company  and Global Fashion Agenda | European Environment Agency  The global textile and fashion industry consumes huge amounts of water, generates massive waste and drives significant CO2 emissions. Yet most textile waste is still incinerated or landfilled, and brands struggle to access traceable, high quality circular materials  METRI CUBI DI ACQUA 0 mld CONSUMED GLOBALLY EACH YEAR BY TEXTILE INDUSTRY   Water is a heavily used resource in the fashion industry. Estimates indicate that producing a single cotton T-shirt requires 2,700 liters of freshwater, an amount equivalent to what a person would drink over two and a half years. di tonnellate di rifiuti tessili 0 mln DISCARD IN MIXED WASTE STREAMS ONLY WITHIN WASTE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIESThe way people dispose of clothing has also changed, with many garments being thrown away rather than donated. Between 2000 and 2015, clothing production doubled, while usage decreased by 36%, leading to a shorter lifecycle for textile products. European citizens consume nearly 26 kg of textiles per year and discard about 11 kg. Used clothing can be exported outside the EU, but most is incinerated or sent to landfill (87%).  tonnellate di CO2 EQ 0 MLN IN EMISSIONS GENERATED BY TEXTILE PRODUCTS CONSUMED IN THE EUOver 70% of emissions generated by the fashion industry come from upstream activities, particularly the production, preparation, and processing of high-energy-intensity raw materials. The remaining 30% is generated by downstream activities, such as transportation, packaging, retail operations, usage, and end-of-life disposal.                 Email SUBSCRIBE You have been successfully Subscribed!

OUR SOLUTION: RESPETTO RESPETTO is a turnkey industrial solution that transforms unsorted textile and fashion waste into next generation neo polymers with plastic-like properties RECYCLE AND TEXTILE WASTE We process pre and post consumer waste from the textile and fashion sector: plant-based, animal, synthetic and blended fabrics, as well as leather and technical textiles. No input sorting by fiber type is required REGENERATED AND REGENERABLE MATERIALS Through a patented industrial process, textile waste becomes a high quality secondary raw material - a next generation neo-polymer - suitable for many applications: fashion accessories, interior design, packaging, retail tools, automotive, nautical and more HIGH PERFORMANCE MATERIALS BY DESIGN The resulting material has plastic-like properties and can be injection molded or 3D printed. Together with your R&D team, we co-design the exact mechanical, aesthetic and performance characteristics you need - quality by design from the very beginning  LOW INVESTMENT AND OPTIMIZED COSTS the RESPETTO plant requires a relatively low investment compared to alternative technologies and has operating costs compatible with the economic sustainability of the secondary raw material produced.  INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY  PATENTED HYBRID TECHNOLOGY Inspired by nature, which rarely relies on a single transformation process, RESPETTO integrates advanced mechanical and materials engineering technologies to overcome the limitations of purely chemical, mechanical or thermal textile recycling processes. RESPETTO® MIX We have developed 80+ proprietary Respetto®Mix formulations that enable the production of Secondary Raw Material with diverse aesthetic, functional, or technical properties. This patented additive family allows you to tailor stiffness, appearence, tactile feel and performance for each application LOW-ENERGY, low-water PLANT The process has been designed to minimize electricity consumption and use limited water, ensuring the complete sustainability of the process. POTENTIAL APPLICATION  FURNITURE & INTERIOR DESIGN FASHION AND LUXURY ACCESSORIES PACKAGING RETAILtoolS AUTOMOTIVE, NAUTICAL, AND MUCH MORE… WHY RESPETTO? FROM WASTE TO VALUE RESPETTO turns textile waste from a cost center into a strategic asset: a new stream of high value secondary raw material with plastic like properties and broad application potential. COMPACT AND SCALABLE PLANT The plant is compact in size and less expensive compared to other technological solutions in the industry.Its modular design allows for easy scalability and the possibility of remote control. ONE SOLUTION FOR ALL TEXTILE AND FASHION WASTE RESPETTO can process industrial and post consumer waste without separating materials by type (wool, cotton, viscose, polyester, leather, etc.), while still delivering high quality secondary raw materials  FROM TEXTILE WASTE TO NEXT GEN ECO MATERIALS SINCE 2015, WE HAVE WORKED EVERY DAY TO TURN THE WASTE OF A CONSUMERIST SOCIETY INTO PRODUCTS OF EXCEPTIONAL, TIMELESS QUALITY WITH AUTHENTIC AESTHETIC VALUE. OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL PLACE, WITHOUT COMPROMISING FUTURE GENERATIONS’ ABILITY TO MEET THEIR OWN NEEDS.
