Circular Economy: Our Reason for Being
Since 2002, before the concept existed, PrecisionTex has been closing the textile cycle by transforming waste into resources. Discover our integrated process that combines recovery, sorting, mechanical and chemical processing, certification and reintegration into the production chain.
What is Textile Circular Economy?
The textile circular economy is a regenerative model that keeps materials in use for as long as possible, extracting their maximum value and recovering them at the end of their useful life to create new products. This model radically contrasts with the traditional linear economy (extract-produce-dispose) that has dominated the textile industry for decades.
- Design for Durability and Recyclability: Create products that last longer and are easy to recycle.
- Extended Use: Maximize useful life through repair and reuse.
- Material Recovery: At end of life, recover fibers to create new products.
- Waste Elimination: The ultimate goal is that the concept of "garbage" does not exist.
Our Circular Economy Model
Post-Industrial Recovery
We specialize in pre-consumer waste (garment clips, waste) generated in textile factories. We operate collection networks in Europe, Asia and America, turning what was once waste into valuable raw material.
Specialized Sorting
Critical sorting by composition (cotton, polyester, blends), color (avoiding additional dyeing) and quality. 25 years of expertise in our plants in Spain, Bangladesh and Central America.
Advanced Processing
Mechanical: Shredding and carding for respinnable loose fiber. Chemical: Depolymerization and repolymerization for maximum quality in complex materials.
Certification and Reintegration
GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification guaranteeing complete traceability. Supply to spinners, non-woven manufacturers and filling producers to close the cycle.
Benefits of Circular Economy
