What is NuCycl® Technology?
NuCycl® is a groundbreaking fiber technology developed by Evrnu®, a textile innovations company dedicated to creating a circular ecosystem. This technology transforms cotton waste—yes, the leftover scraps and discarded textiles—into new, high-quality fiber that can be reformed again and again. It’s not just recycling; it’s regeneration. By turning pre and post-consumer cotton textile waste into pristine, regenerative fibers, NuCycl® extends the lifecycle of single-use textiles and offers a real alternative to traditional raw materials like cotton and polyester.
The Ultimate Benefit of NuCycl® Fiber
NuCycl® isn’t just eco-friendly; it’s a game changer for the fashion and textile industries. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Strong: Equal to or stronger than virgin cotton or polyester it replaces.
- Plant-Based: Made from 100% cotton textile waste.
- Circular: Can be recycled up to 5 times, supporting retailer “take back” programs.
- Biodegradable: Fully compostable and biodegradable fiber.
- Regenerative: Can be formed and reformed™ up to 5 times without losing quality or performance.
- Soft: Feels more like cotton compared to traditional pulp-based lyocell.
- Breathable: Natural fiber that allows air to pass through for comfort.
About Evrnu®: Innovating for a Better Tomorrow
Evrnu® is not just another textile company. It’s an advanced material innovation company focused on reshaping how resources are used and drastically reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry. Their mission? To transform the manufacturing system’s obvious and hidden environmental flaws through revolutionary material technologies and infrastructure changes. The goal is ambitious but clear: make all textiles successfully recyclable by 2030 and create a net neutral industry by 2050. That’s a future worth working toward.
How NuCycl® Addresses the Textile Waste Crisis
When clothes become waste, they usually end up in landfills, where they decompose over hundreds of years, releasing methane—a potent greenhouse gas—into the atmosphere. The textile waste crisis is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. Evrnu® accepts this challenge head-on by using regeneration: turning unwanted textiles into engineered fibers that can be recycled repeatedly. This approach not only reduces landfill waste but also lowers the environmental footprint of textile production.
Applications of NuCycl® Fiber
NuCycl® lyocell fiber is incredibly versatile. It can be transformed into a wide range of products—from casual apparel like the sculpturally beautiful and ridiculously comfortable 360 Hoodie, to footwear and even home textiles. Evrnu® works with a global network of manufacturing partners to bring this vision to life, proving that sustainable fashion doesn’t mean compromising on style or comfort. In fact, it’s the evolution from “sustainable fashion” to just “fashion.”
