Textilkemist

About us

At Renasens, we’re a small team building something ambitious: a textile recycling technology that will change the world.

We have developed a waterless process using minimal energy and chemicals with a neutral impact on fiber quality. This allows us to recycle the most challenging textile waste: blended post-consumer polycotton in any colour, with any additives, composition, or quality, utilizing what is currently the most common yet unwanted fraction of textile waste.

A valid EU and Sweden work permit is required.
