loopamid®
OUR MISSION
We rewrite the rules of the textile game.
92 million tons of textile waste* and counting. 92 million tons of valuable resources being dumped every year. This is a two-way disaster – environmental pollution as well as a waste of precious resources.
We turn the problem into a solution. We turn textile waste into a valuable resource. We turn end-of-life textiles into new garments.

OUR TECHNOLOGY
We are the first to close the loop for Nylon 6 entirely from textile waste.
No downcycling. From end-of-life textiles to virgin-like materials.
loopamid® keeps the level up and the standard high. Our technology enables true circularity, from textile to textile.

OUR FEEDSTOCK
We are tapping into a new resource: textile waste.
Your beloved running jacket, your worn-out tights, the shirt that has done its job. They might have lost their fashion value. But they still have a lot of value for the textile industry.
With loopamid®, we are converting textile waste into valuable feedstock.
