Prioritizing the replacement of environmentally polluting polyester fibers in textiles, circular HeiQ AeoniQ cellulose filament yarns are manufactured using CIRCULOSE pulp provided by Renewcell from textile to textile recycling. This partnership integrates recyclable raw materials into the most modern, climate-friendly and environmentally friendly yarn production processes, making the textile industry 100% circular.
Leveraging their shared vision for the circular and bio-based textile industry, HeiQ and Renewcell have joined forces to make 100% recycled and bio-based high-strength filament yarns viable at scale for fossil fibers such as nylon and polyester. Commercialization of alternatives. Encouraging results from initial tests using Circulose as a feedstock for HeiQ AeoniQ yarn production create opportunities for the partners to collaborate in efforts to lead the current transformation of the textile industry, positioning both companies and Europe as Pioneer region for the introduction of recycled raw materials into the most modern and environmentally friendly yarn production processes, thus achieving true circularity in the textile industry.
Circulose
Circulose–a cyclic cellulose is a brand of dissolving pulp product, Renewcell uses 100 % made from textile waste such as worn jeans and production scraps. Dissolving pulp cellulose is used by the textile industry to make viscose, lyocell, modal, acetate and other types of regenerated fibers (also known as “man-made cellulose fibers”). The only difference with Circulose is that it’s made from textile waste instead of wood. Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer in the world. It forms the cell walls of most plants and trees. The purest cellulose in nature is cotton.
Renewcell CEO Patrik Lundströ said: “Our 100% recycled textile pulp, Circulose, was born from the idea of doing something better than dumping or incinerating the millions of tonnes the industry produces every year. Something better to do with waste while reducing the need for new high-impact virgin materials. Over the past two years we have successfully demonstrated the suitability of Circulose in fashion as a drop-in replacement for raw cotton and wood. Until now, how The challenge of using cyclic cellulose as a drop-in replacement for oil in high-strength performance fabrics remains. Our partnership with HeiQ, a company that fully shares our vision, leverages Circulose as a game-changing HeiQ AeoniQ yarn raw materials and enables both of us to make a huge breakthrough in the right disruptive direction for the global textile industry. 100% fabric-to-fabric recycled, bio-based, biodegradable, with the physical properties of polyester and nylon – Circulose HeiQ aeon IQ yarn Will inspire any brand interested in climate and the environment.”

“This latest strategic partnership with Renewcell is further proof that suppliers of circular power to the textile industry can work together to and be the movers and shakers that drive the industry’s shift to a more environmentally friendly direction. With Circulose as one of our raw material sources for HeiQ AeoniQ, we will save tons of textiles from ending up in landfill and protect our trees and forests. We are keen to combine our ingredient branding expertise and work together to convince brands of the huge advantages of replacing all synthetic, fossil-fueled textiles, and how embracing circularity is not only in their interest, but also in the interest of their customers and the planet,” said Carlo Centonze, co-founder and CEO of HeiQ.
HeiQ AeoniQ yarn (Aeon: Striving for Eternal Circulation) is made from cellulosic biopolymers that bind atmospheric carbon while producing oxygen during the growth process. This high-performance yarn has the potential to replace synthetic filament yarns, which account for more than 60% of global textile production of 108 million metric tons per year. In addition, compared to traditional cellulose products, HeiQ AeoniQ yarn does not occupy arable land, pesticides or fertilizers during the production process. HeiQ AeoniQ yarns are designed for cradle-to-cradle cycles and are recyclable while maintaining consistent fiber quality. The manufacturing process is expected to consume 99% less water than cotton yarn, and HeiQ AeoniQ is designed to provide performance comparable to polyester, nylon and traditional regenerated cellulose yarns.
