RCO100® Fibre Friendly 

Recycling Technology

Swiss-engineered textile recycling that gently opens fibre from textile waste using Refine-Forward technology.

In 2016, Säntis Textiles designed and manufactured a textile recycling system through the lens of Swiss engineering. The goal of our system is creating long staple fibres which are textile grade, without using water or chemicals in the process.

With our refine forward fibre opening technology, RCO100® manages textile waste with a fiber friendly philosophy that enables fibres to retain their original structure without significant degradation.
