We are a textile impact company decarbonizing and dewasting the industry through textile-to-textile recycling. At hyperscale.
Textiles and waste - the growing global challenge
The textile industry today accounts for up to 10% of global CO2e emissions1
Less than 1 % of the global textile fiber market comes from recycled textiles2 and the majority of all end-of-life textiles are incinerated or end up in landfills
Polyester is the most widely used and fastest growing textile fiber in the world with 71 million tons produced annually3, however virgin polyester is produced by crude oil and bottle-to-fiber recycled polyester is, unlike textile-to-textile, also linear.

Dennis Nobelius: Action speaks louder than words
Action speaks louder than words. This has been our motto since our public launch in March earlier this year. These guiding words express our strong desire to make an impact – at hyperscale. At Syre, this means less focus on providing single capsule collections and nice-to- showcase innovations and more focus on large volumes. This means offering solutions at scale, including attractive pricing, to enable brands putting circular polyester solutions at the core of the program – moving from innovations to true impact. And choosing to do so at their own liking with their own branding.
