Selenis, a global leader in specialty polyesters, has officially introduced Texnascis, a new brand dedicated to textile-to-textile recycling. Texnascis will serve as the company’s main platform to achieve its mission of creating a circular textile industry by turning textile waste into innovative products for reuse.
With a long-standing background in polymerization for the specialty fiber sector, Selenis recognized in 2022 the urgent challenge of textile waste and began directing innovation and resources toward addressing it. While maintaining its specialty polyester business, the company has invested in production sites in the US and now in Italy to reinforce its leadership in textile circularity. Texnascis will help extend these efforts across the Atlantic, linking sustainable innovation in both regions.
“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,” added Eduardo Santos, Global Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis.
Through Texnascis, Selenis envisions every polyester fiber having a second life—transforming discarded textiles into new, high-quality products. This approach shifts the industry away from the linear model of “take, make, and waste” towards a truly circular system where textile lifecycles can be infinite.
