Hybridworks
Truly Circular Textile Solutions
92 million tons of textile waste are generated globally each year — enough to fill one garbage truck every second. And the biggest blocker to circularity? Blended textiles.
We solve that.
“Recycling blended textiles is a technical and economic puzzle the fashion industry is still working to solve.”

Hybridworks offers complete recovery of discarded blended textiles
What we do
We separate blended fabrics into their original components — cotton fibers and polyester monomers.
The result: natural fibers ready to spin again, and chemical ingredients ready to reuse. No waste, no downcycling.
The only technology delivering virgin-quality TPA and intact cotton fibers from blended textiles.
