Texnascis will become the vehicle to deliver Selenis’s mission to drive the textile industry towards a circular future by transforming textile waste into innovative products for re-use.

Selenis’s expertise in polymerisation for the speciality fibre industry has always been woven into its heritage. In 2022, it recognised the pressing challenge of textile waste and focused resources and innovation to address it, while maintaining its core business in speciality polyesters. With production investments first in the US and now with a new facility in Italy, and through Texnascis, it is strengthening its leadership in textile circularity and building a bridge of sustainable innovation across both sides of the Atlantic.

“The launch of Texnascis is a natural step forward as we build momentum in the textile-to-textile recycling space. We believe every garment should be reborn as another garment, not wasted. Achieving this vision on a global scale requires both innovation and forward-looking legislation and Texnascis will be at the forefront of this movement.” said Duarte Matos Gil, CEO of Selenis.

"For us, true sustainability means connecting the entire value chain. We ensure consistent performance by working with partners to scale, from pilot to industrial, and enhance recycled monomers. This provides our customers with a reliable, high-quality foundation for their scalable production, from recycled feedstock all the way to the finished products, whatever that may be," said Eduardo Santos, global head of corporate strategy at Selenis.
