TURNING TEXTILE WASTE INTO HIGH-VALUE CIRCULAR MATERIALS, ON SITE

RESPETTO is a patented hybrid technology and compact plant that transforms any textile waste – natural, synthetic and blended; pre‑ and post‑consumer, including finished garments – without sorting or disassembly, into a certified, high‑performance secondary raw material with plastic‑like properties. This regenerated, fully recirculable material serves both companies that need to recycle their own textile and garment waste and brands and manufacturers that want to increase the share of sustainable secondary raw material in their products, enabling them to become sustainable by design directly at their facility, with low energy and water use.

Regenstech is an innovative female‑led startup and benefit corporation founded in 2020. Its mission is to develop technological solutions that turn industrial and textile waste into high‑quality, circular secondary raw materials, unlocking true on‑site circularity for the entire textile value chain

TEXTILE WASTE IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM, WE SOLVE

REGENERATE EVERY TEXTILE WASTE STREAM NO SORTING, NO DISASSEMBLY


Most recycling technologies only accept sorted, mono‑material flows and struggle with blends, finished garments and leather. Respetto instead regenerates all textile waste from your own operations, natural, synthetic, blended, pre‑ and post‑consumer, including mixed fabrics and leather, without sorting or disassembly. This turns complex, low‑value waste streams into a single, high‑value input for circular production, eliminating bottlenecks and costly pre‑treatment.

CREATE NEX‑GEN SECONDARY RAW MATERIALS FOR SALE OR IN‑HOUSE USE

Companies need high‑performance secondary materials that can truly replace fossil‑based virgin feedstock. Respetto transforms your textile waste into Nex‑Gen Materials with plastic‑like properties, certified and ready for the market or for in‑house production. You can sell this secondary raw material as a premium circular input or use it to substitute virgin fossil‑derived materials in your own products, unlocking new revenue streams and reducing dependency on volatile commodity markets.

SLASH YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT FROM WASTE REGENERATION TO VIRGIN SUBSTITUTION

Scope 3 emissions and virgin material use are the biggest climate hotspots for textile and fashion companies. By regenerating your own textile waste on site and substituting it with high‑performance regenerated material in your production, Respetto enables a drastic reduction of your carbon footprint. You cut impacts from waste disposal, transport and external recycling, while lowering the embedded carbon of your products through direct virgin material substitution.

BECOME SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN ON‑SITE REGENERATION

Many brands want circularity but lack the infrastructure, CapEx and operational model to make it real. Respetto offers a compact, low‑impact on‑site plant and the option to use the Sustainability‑as‑a‑Service, so you can launch virtuous regeneration processes without heavy investments or complexity. This lets you embed circularity into your business model from day one, making your products and supply chain sustainable by design – not as a claim, but as an operational reality.

OUR SOLUTION: RESPETTO 

RESPETTO is a turnkey industrial solution that transforms unsorted textile and fashion waste into next generation neo polymers with plastic-like properties

RECYCLE AND TEXTILE WASTE


We process pre and post consumer waste from the textile and fashion sector: plant-based, animal, synthetic and blended fabrics, as well as leather and technical textiles. No input sorting by fiber type is required

REGENERATED AND REGENERABLE MATERIALS

Through a patented industrial process, textile waste becomes a high quality secondary raw material – a next generation neo-polymer – suitable for many applications: fashion accessories, interior design, packaging, retail tools, automotive, nautical and more

HIGH PERFORMANCE MATERIALS BY DESIGN

The resulting material has plastic-like properties and can be injection molded or 3D printed. Together with your R&D team, we co-design the exact mechanical, aesthetic and performance characteristics you need – quality by design from the very beginning 

LOW INVESTMENT AND OPTIMIZED COSTS

The RESPETTO plant requires a relatively low investment compared to alternative technologies and has operating costs compatible with the economic sustainability of the secondary raw material produced. 

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY 

TURN EPR AND WASTE BAN COMPLIANCE INTO A COMPETITIVE EDGE

New EU rules on EPR, the ban on destroying unsold textile products and the Packaging Waste Resolution turn compliance into a strategic lever. Respetto helps you transform regulatory constraints into differentiation: instead of paying fees or destroying stock, you regenerate finished garments and packaging‑related textiles on site. This reduces compliance costs, avoids penalties and reputational risk, and positions your brand as a leader in regulatory‑driven circularity versus competitors still treating waste as a cost center.

IN‑HOUSE PRODUCTION OF NEXT‑GEN SECONDARY RAW MATERIALS WITH UNIQUE PERFORMANCE

Access to high‑quality secondary materials is a key bottleneck for brands wanting real circularity and product differentiation. Respetto enables you to autoproduce NEXT‑GEN secondary raw materials with plastic‑like, high‑performance properties, tailored to your specific applications. This gives you exclusive control over material specs, quality and supply, allowing you to design products that outperform competitors using generic recycled or virgin feedstock, while protecting margins and reducing exposure to commodity price volatility.

BUILD A CREDIBLE, DATA‑BACKED SUSTAINABILITY STORY THAT BECOMES YOUR BRAND ASSET

Consumers, retailers and investors increasingly demand proof, not claims. By regenerating your own textile waste on site and substituting virgin materials with certified NEXT‑GEN inputs, you create a transparent, measurable sustainability narrative: less waste, less carbon, more circular content. Respetto turns this into a core part of your brand storytelling and positioning, with concrete metrics and traceability that support marketing, B2B conversations and ESG reporting, making sustainability a real competitive advantage instead of a generic claim.

WHY RESPETTO?

FROM WASTE TO VALUE

RESPETTO turns textile waste from a cost center into a strategic asset: a new stream of high value secondary raw material with plastic like properties and broad application potential.

COMPACT AND SCALABLE PLANT

The plant is compact in size and less expensive compared to other technological solutions in the industry.
Its modular design allows for easy scalability and the possibility of remote control.

ONE SOLUTION FOR ALL TEXTILE AND FASHION WASTE

RESPETTO can process industrial and post consumer waste without separating materials by type (wool, cotton, viscose, polyester, leather, etc.), while still delivering high quality secondary raw materials 

Turn textile waste into high‑value circular materials, on site.

SINCE 2015, WE HAVE WORKED EVERY DAY TO TURN THE WASTE OF A CONSUMERIST SOCIETY INTO PRODUCTS OF EXCEPTIONAL, TIMELESS QUALITY WITH AUTHENTIC AESTHETIC VALUE. OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL PLACE, WITHOUT COMPROMISING FUTURE GENERATIONS’ ABILITY TO MEET THEIR OWN NEEDS.
