Key characteristics

Regenerative fiber made entirely from cotton textile waste

  • Recyclable
  • Eliminates need to blend with virgin material
  • Alternative to resource intensive cotton and man-made cellulosic fibers
  • Bio-based alternative to nylon and polyester, to reduce carbon emissions and plastic shedding

How the process works

NuCycl breaks down textile waste and turns it into new recyclable fiber ready to be made into new products over and over

Strong

Soft

Just as strong as
virgin fiber

NuCycl is an ultra high tenacity r-lyocell which exceeds the performance of polyester or man-made cellulosic fibers in the market today

The softness we
love against our skin

FAQs

What is NuCycl?

NuCycl is a game-changing new technology that creates pristine, new fibers from textiles that were diverted from landfills. Products made with NuCycl fibers can be disassembled at the molecular level and transformed into new garments, over and over again.

What is the difference between Evrnu and NuCycl?

Evrnu is an advanced materials innovation company focused on developing technologies for the textile and apparel industry that solve the most pressing problems facing our environment. NuCycl is our first technology. It transforms textile waste into premium fibers that look good, feel good, and do good.

What is NuCycl made of?

NuCycl is made from cotton rich textiles. NuCycl is a technology that converts pre and post- consumer as well as post-industrial textile waste materials into new fiber. Garments made with NuCycl technology can be disassembled at the molecular level, using the same process, purified and then transformed into new fibers made from 100% textile waste.

How much cotton garment waste does it take to make NuCycl?

Specific product requirements are set by our brand/retail partners based on their objectives, but the NuCycl fiber composition can range from 30-100% of cotton textile waste. The higher the percentage of the NuCycl fiber the greater the environmental impact reduction to natural resources impacting air, water, and soil.

What is NuCycl’s positive environmental impact?

The world produces over 50 million tons of textile waste every year. Together we are turning this waste into a sustainable design solution. Instead of extracting new resources from the earth, we make it possible to extract more value from the resources we already have. Textile waste is inherently rich with untapped natural resources and our mission is to unlock the full potential of these resources so the planet and humanity can thrive in harmony.

How do I Incorporate NuCycl Fiber into my textile development?

We are working with some of the world’s best brands and retailers to help them meet their sustainability goals and to modify their production practices to be in alignment with natural systems. Evrnu is also engaging with global fiber producers to scale the technology through a licensing model.
