Textile recycling // Mercer Island, United States

Evrnu

Evrnu develops textile-regeneration technology that turns cotton-rich discarded clothing and factory waste into new fibre. Its Nucycl process shreds, liquefies and purifies the textile feedstock before producing lyocell fibre, giving brands an alternative to virgin inputs and a route toward recycling clothing back into clothing.

Why we're watching

Financing and completing commercial production capacity will decide whether its textile-to-fibre process moves beyond capsule collaborations.

Funding

Evrnu announced a $15 million Series B in 2021 led by FullCycle Climate Partners, with investors including Hansae, Bestseller and PDS Venture.
