RCO100™ Fiber Friendly Recycling Technology
Swiss-engineered textile recycling that gently opens fiber from textile waste using Refine-Forward technology.
In 2016, Säntis Textiles designed and manufactured a textile recycling system through the lens of Swiss engineering, simplicity, and the goal of creating long staple fiber that is textile grade without using water or chemicals in the process.
With our Refine Forward fiber opening technology, RCO100 manages textile waste with a fiber friendly philosophy that enables fibers to retain their original structure without significant degradation. The apex of natural ingenuity, quality and next-gen circular solutions today.
