The Renewcell Process
Renewcell receives used garments and textile production waste with high cellulosic content, like cotton or viscose. The textiles are shredded, de-buttoned, de-zipped, de-colored and turned into a slurry. Contaminants and other non-cellulosic content are separated from the slurry.
The slurry is dried to produce Circulose®, a branded ‘dissolving pulp’ made from 100% recycled textiles. The sheets of Circulose® are finally packaged into bales and fed back into the textile production value chain as a biobased equal-quality replacement for virgin materials like cotton, oil and wood.

Sagitto's Role
Renewcell uses the Sagitto system to perform quality checks on its incoming bales of textile waste. Using our hand-held NIR sensor and models that we've developed especially for Renewcell, their quality control team is able to repidly determine the suitability of each load for the Renewcell process.
