Waste as a resource
Unwanted textiles are rich with intrinsic value. NuCycl transforms waste into a resource by recovering the raw materials for reuse.
Wear the Solution™️
Products made with NuCycl by Evrnu can be disassembled to the molecular level and regenerated multiple times into new clothing, home and industrial textiles with extraordinary performance and environmental advantages. Now, single-life textiles are a multi-life resource. Currently being adopted by leading global brands and retailers, NuCycl is making the circular economy a reality.
More than a hoodie. The start of a new cycle.
The adidas by Stella McCartney Infinite Hoodie is the first garment to be made using NuCycl fibers with customized performance features. Created in an ultra-limited run, it is designed to be disassembled and returned to the NuCycl system.
“adidas’ strategy is simple: create product that not only performs for the athlete, but for the world at large. Designing footwear and apparel with upcycled plastic waste was our first step. The next challenge is to end the concept of waste entirely, in this case creating products that are made to be remade.
We don’t have all the answers and we know we can’t do it alone, so by collaborating with partners who share our same vision, as we’ve done with Evrnu, we can combine adidas by Stella McCartney’s sports industry expertise with specialist knowledge to bring about a waste-free world.”
James Carnes, Vice President of Strategy Creation at adidas
How garment-to-garment recycling works with NuCycl
1. Gather
Discarded textiles are diverted from landfills and collected to be sorted and separated.
2. Purify
The garments are disassembled, then shredded and broken down to the molecular level.
3. Fiber
The raw materials are then engineered into a new fiber profile with unique performance advantages.
4. Yarn
The pristine, new engineered fiber is spun into yarn.
5. Fabric
New premium-quality, high-performance fabrics are made by our mill partners for designers and brands.
Performance. Quality. Impact.
Extraordinary performance and superior quality are the hallmark of NuCycl engineered fiber as well as the environmental advantages of conserving raw materials, water and climate impacts.
NuCycl technology by Evrnu extends the life cycle of today’s single-use textile fibers by extracting the molecular building blocks of the original fiber in a way that pristine new fibers can be created, again and again.
NuCycl Environmental Benefits
Low carbon footprint
By diverting old clothing from landfills and creating new fibers from old clothes, NuCycl prevents harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
Water efficiency
Water is a precious natural resource. By extending the lifecycle of raw materials, NuCycl is not as reliant on the use of water to produce new textiles.

Consumers
Old clothes get a new life
It's coming — a future where all garments are recycled and damaging disposal practices are obsolete. That's what we're creating today. NuCycl technology is not yet available to consumers, but you can help us now by recycling your old clothing.
Here's how to keep textiles out of the landfill:
- Don’t throw old clothing away
- Donate or consign it for someone else to enjoy
- Mend or repair garments to extend their lifespan
- Help create demand for garment-to-garment recycling
Wear it. Wear it out. NuCycl.
This is the beginning of a new era in textiles.
