Recycling cotton into textile products is not new, but until recently manufacturers could not ensure the required strength and durability without blending in virgin cotton, polyester, or other plastics. In contrast, nxtile products are made using a patented process that turns 100% cotton waste into high-quality textiles. We are the first company in Europe to produce non-blended cotton-waste textiles at scale, achieving significant environmental benefits.

By using only cotton waste in production, no new cotton needs to be grown. This results in substantial savings in land and water use, while also significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. On top, no new pesticides are needed and zero plastics is used. 

By using cotton waste, there is no need to grow new cotton to produce fresh textiles. Land savings are calculated as the number of square meters (m²) that are no longer required for cotton cultivation—and can instead be used for other crops. 

Growing conventional cotton requires large amounts of water. By using cotton waste instead of new cotton, this water is effectively saved. Water savings are calculated as the number of liters that no longer need to be used for cultivation and can therefore be preserved for other purposes.

CO₂ emissions are reduced because there is no need to grow and harvest new cotton. This eliminates a significant portion of emissions generated by machinery used on cotton farms. Savings are calculated as the number of kilograms of CO₂ that are no longer released into the atmosphere.
