CLS-Tex and Pure waste join forces

Pure Waste and CLS-Tex International have teamed up closing the loop for textile, sharing their innovations in partnership

In 2012 Jukka Pesola (Pure Waste) and Rien Otto (CLS-Tex) met as winners of the ‘2012 Challenge Solution Textile’, set by the global innovation platform ‘LAUNCH Nordic’. From then on the two pioneers started working together. 

Recently they agreed on taking the next step and start closing the loop by presenting the extended label Pure Waste CLS Inside. Pure Waste products are initially already made from recycled textile. However, after their use they will be given yet another life: using the innovative HTEX technology, used clothing is being recycled into raw material for new yarns, fabrics and new garments. The return and recycle services as well as the recycling process are made possible by CLS-Tex’ innovative solutions. This way the loop will be entirely closed: waste will be raw material!
