Through our global Innovation Platform, Fashion for Good supports critical innovations on their journey to scale, providing hands-on project management, access to funding and expertise, and collaborations with brands and manufacturers to accelerate implementation in the fashion supply chain. In this series, we will introduce some of the groundbreaking innovators who are driving the change to make fashion a force for good.

Currently, a large percentage of textiles end up in landfills or are incinerated, rather than being recycled or reused. Infinited Fiber Company’s technology offers a solution to this problem by reducing the amount of textile waste that ends up in landfills and by creating a circular economy.

Infinited Fiber Company focuses on turning post-consumer cotton rich textile and cardboard waste into new cotton-like fibres that can be recycled and reused. The innovative process involves breaking down cellulose-based materials like cotton, viscose, and denim into a pulp, which is then treated with a chemical process that turns it into a regenerated fibre that can be spun into yarn and woven into new fabrics. The resulting fibre is durable, versatile, and can be used in a variety of textile applications.

The fibre, known as Infinna™, shares many properties with cotton in feel and versatility while eliminating the need to grow new materials, instead capturing the value of what’s already been produced. Infinna™ is a circular and more sustainable option to conventional textile fibres like cotton, polyester and viscose.

Impact

The production of Infinna fibre consumes less Water compared to cotton and viscose, and by recycling textile Waste, is helping to reduce the amount of textiles that end up in landfills or incinerated. As such, they are capturing resources that would otherwise be wasted and alleviating the burden on virgin resources.
