A project that we realized together with the textile recycling company Soex shows just how much potential there is in seemingly useless waste materials. At the center: Cyclotexx®, an innovative paper - made from what nobody actually wanted anymore.

Heavily damaged cotton jeans are also recycled in the recycling process for used textiles. The shredding process produces fine dust that collects large quantities in filters. For most people, this is a waste product - for Soex, it's an exciting question: can it be turned into something else?

That's how ENGELKARTON came into play. Our task: to develop a paper made from precisely this denim dust. After numerous tests and the addition of recycled wastepaper, Cyclotexx® was created - a particularly tear-resistant, robust paper that differs significantly from conventional paper thanks to the cotton fibers it contains.

Cyclotexx® is particularly suitable for mailing bags, for example, which must withstand stress and need to be as environmentally friendly as possible. A nice side effect: the material is available in different colors - depending on the mixture of the original materials.

We at ENGELKARTON are now working on the next stage: Cyclotexx® 2.0. Our goal: a paper that can not only recycle denim dust, but also entirely used textiles - and thus make a real contribution to reducing the global mountains of textile waste.

For us, Cyclotexx® is more than just a product - it is an example of how waste can become a resource if you think in a new way.

We look forward to your inquiry!
