Why are regenerated fibres sometimes blended with other materials? 🧶

Because every final application has its own requirements.

After regeneration, fibres can be used in pure form or combined with other regenerated or virgin fibres to create blends with specific characteristics.

Fibre length, composition, strength and the performance required from the final product all contribute to defining the right combination.

Blending is therefore not simply an additional step: it is a way to design the material according to its next application, balancing regenerated content with the technical properties needed for its new life.

Our goal is not just to recover fibres, but to help turn them into materials that can be used again.

RiTessiAMO: building a more circular textile supply chain in our territory ♻️

The project is officially underway, bringing together three local partners with a shared goal: reducing textile waste and creating new opportunities for the materials that can no longer be reused.

Together with , project leader, and , the solidarity shop run by Società di San Vincenzo De Paoli, we are working to develop a local model for textile circularity that connects collection, sorting, preparation for recycling and fibre regeneration.

The process starts at ABITO, where used textiles are sorted to identify the items suitable for donation, reuse and upcycling, as well as those that can be recycled. With the support of Atelier Riforma’s technologies, materials are sorted by fibre composition and colour, and components that could hinder recycling are removed. Textiles that are not suitable for upcycling are then sent to our facility in Biella, where we transform them into regenerated fibres that can re-enter the market.

RiTessiAMO goes beyond recycling. The project also promotes reuse, repair and upcycling, supports local businesses and craftspeople, and raises awareness of more responsible consumption and textile management.

For us, this is an opportunity to put circularity into practice by connecting local expertise, technology and collaboration to keep materials in circulation and reduce waste.

Before textile waste can become a new fibre, it needs to be ready for regeneration 🔍

Buttons, zippers, labels and other non-textile components may seem like small details, but they can interfere with the regeneration process and need to be properly removed before the material enters our production line.

Preparation also means understanding what we are working with: composition, construction and characteristics of the incoming material all play a role in defining how it can be processed.

That’s why effective textile regeneration starts before the fibres reach our machines.

The better we know and prepare the input, the better we can work to preserve its value throughout the process.

Short fibres or long fibres: why does length matter? 📏

When it comes to textile regeneration, fibre length is not just a number. It is one of the factors that influences how a regenerated material can be processed and what it can become next.

With Closeoop®, we work with both short and long fibres, adapting the regeneration process and subsequent preparation to their specific characteristics.

Short fibres, typically below 50 mm, follow processes designed for the cotton sector, while longer fibres, generally above 60 mm, can be prepared for applications within the wool sector.

Preserving as much fibre length as possible during regeneration is therefore essential: the better we preserve the original characteristics of the material, the more opportunities we can create for its next life.

What happens after textile waste becomes fibre? 🔄

Regeneration is only the first step. With Closeoop®, we work with a wide range of pre- and post-consumer textile waste, preserving fibre length, strength and technical properties as much as possible during the regeneration process.

Yet, not every regenerated fibre follows the same path.

Depending on the characteristics of the incoming material and the requirements of the final application, we can develop different solutions, including regenerated wool, cashmere, silk and aramid fibres, including Kermel, as well as fibres for filling applications and other tailor-made solutions.

Regenerated fibres can then be prepared for spinning, blended with other fibres or developed for technical and nonwoven applications.

Because regeneration is not about creating one standard output. It’s about understanding each material and finding the right path to bring its value back into the supply chain.

Looking for a regenerated solution tailored to your application? Let’s find the right path for your materials.

How many trees are hidden inside a textile? 🌳

When we think about textile fibres, we often imagine cotton fields, wool, or synthetic materials. Yet many fabrics we encounter every day, including viscose, modal, and lyocell, originate from a less visible source: trees.

According to environmental nonprofit Canopy, approximately 300 million trees are harvested every year to produce man-made cellulosic fibres such as viscose and rayon.

These materials have become increasingly popular thanks to their versatility, softness, and performance. However, their growing demand also raises important questions about resource management, forest conservation, and the future of fibre sourcing.

As the textile industry continues to evolve, attention is shifting not only to how fibres are produced, but also to where they come from and how their impact can be reduced throughout the value chain.

Understanding the origin of materials is becoming just as important as understanding their performance.

One process. Many materials. Endless possibilities.

Cashmere. Wool. Viscose. Technical fibres. Production scraps.
Every material comes with its own characteristics, challenges and potential. That's why regeneration can never be a one-size-fits-all process.

At Closeoop, we adapt our approach to the specific behaviour of each material, with a clear objective: preserving as much of the fibre's original value as possible.

Through our mechanical regeneration process, we work to maintain key fibre properties such as length, tenacity and performance, creating the conditions for new applications without compromising quality.

Successful regeneration is not measured by how much material is recovered, but by how much value is retained throughout the process.

Which material would you be most curious to see regenerated?

How do you know if a recycled fibre is really what it claims to be? 🔍

As becomes increasingly important across the textile industry, one challenge remains: how can companies verify the authenticity and origin of a material throughout the supply chain?

One possible answer lies within the fibre itself.

We’re able to embed a unique identifier directly into regenerated fibres, creating a marker that accompanies the material throughout its journey.

Using specialized scanning systems, this identifier can be detected and verified at different stages of the production process, helping to confirm the origin of the fibre and providing an additional layer of transparency.

For brands and manufacturers, this means greater confidence in the materials they source. For the industry, it represents another step toward more reliable, traceable, and accountable supply chains.

As transparency becomes a growing priority, could fibre-level traceability become the new standard for textile materials?

How do we measure the quality of regenerated fibres? 🔬

In this new episode of , we take a closer look at one of the tools we use to evaluate our regeneration process: the FibroTest.

The analysis allows us to measure the length of regenerated fibres through two main steps: first, the sample is prepared by selecting a specific amount of fibres from the regenerated output; then, it is loaded into the FibroTest, where a sensor measures fibre length.

By combining these results with the evaluation of fibre opening, we gain valuable data to understand how the regeneration process is performing and which parameters can be adjusted to achieve the desired quality.

Testing, measuring, optimizing: every analysis helps us turn data into better process control and consistent regenerated fibres.

Do you have textile waste that could become a resource?

At Closeoop, we support brands and manufacturers in finding new value in pre- and post-consumer textile materials through customized mechanical regeneration processes.

Every project starts with the material itself: its composition, its characteristics, and its potential applications. From there, we develop tailored solutions designed to maximize value and extend the lifecycle of existing resources.

Let's explore the possibilities together.
