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

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

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.

Texnascis see potential in every reborn polyester fiber, transforming used clothing and textile waste into new, high-quality products. This vision moves the industry beyond the traditional linear model of "take, make, and waste" towards a circular system where every fiber is given a second life, driving a future where the textile lifecycle is truly infinite.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.
