A leading global manufacturer of specialty polyesters, Selenis has launched a new brand dedicated to textile-to-textile recycling. Known as Texnascis, this initiative is a major step in the company's mission to create a circular textile economy by transforming textile waste into innovative, reusable products.

Building on decades of experience in creating specialty fibers, Selenis identified textile waste as a critical challenge in 2022. Since then, the company focused its innovation and production efforts on addressing this issue, with existing facilities in the US and a new site in Italy. The Texnascis brand will serve as the platform to further these efforts and reinforce Selenis's leadership in textile circularity.

Duarte Matos Gil, CEO, Selenis, states, the launch of Texnascis is a natural progression for the company. Achieving this vision globally requires both innovation and supportive legislation and Texnascis will be at the forefront of this movement, he emphasizes.

Eduardo Santos, Global Head-Corporate Strategy, Selenis, explains, the company works with partners to scale from pilot to industrial levels and enhance recycled monomers, providing their customers with a reliable, high-quality foundation for scalable production.

Texnascis envisions a future where every polyester fiber gets a second life, transforming used clothing and textile waste into new, high-quality products. This approach moves the industry away from the traditional ‘take, make, waste’ model and toward a truly circular system, aiming for an infinite textile lifecycle.
