"For us, true sustainability means connecting the entire value chain. We ensure consistent performance by working with partners to scale, from pilot to industrial, and enhance recycled monomers. This provides our customers with a reliable, high-quality foundation for their scalable production, from recycled feedstock all the way to the finished products, whatever that may be." said Eduardo Santos, Global Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis.

Texnascis see potential in every reborn polyester fiber, transforming used clothing and textile waste into new, high-quality products.
