Textile Fiber Boost, founded in 2023, is a promising start-up aiming to revolutionize the textile recycling industry. The company focuses on enhancing the quality of mechanically recycled fibers through innovative pre-treatment processes. By employing chemical treatments before mechanical recycling, they increase the yield of post-consumer textiles, thus contributing significantly to the circular textile economy.
Their flagship project, TEXPOWER, which is funded by the renowned National Growth Fund, serves as a vital step towards scaling their Polycotton Booster Technology. This collaborative effort with various companies in the circular textile chain has secured a substantial grant over a five-year period, emphasizing confidence in their approach.
Recently, Textile Fiber Boost achieved another critical milestone by securing early-stage financing from the National Science Organization (NWO) for further development of their cotton pretreatment technology. This financial backing demonstrates the company’s potential to drive innovation in sustainable textile recycling.
