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.

up to 85% less CO2e compared to the production of oil-based virgin polyester.
first commercial sales from blueprint plant, 12 production plants at full speed worldwide by 2032.
metric tons circular polyester produced by 2032 – equivalent to 16 billion t-shirts, two for every person on Earth.
metric tons CO2e abated by 2032, equivalent to the annual emissions of +3 million petrol cars.
The Syre textile-to-textile recycling solution provides circular polyester with quality on par with virgin polyester but with superior sustainability performance, reducing CO2e by up to 85% compared to the production of oil-based virgin polyester.

The latest news from Syre
Dennis Nobelius: Transforming the textile industry from within
This week marks Dennis Nobelius' one-year anniversary as CEO of Syre. When he joined, the company was still in stealth mode with six months before its public launch. However, the groundwork and innovative technology had been laid long before that. In a personal note, Dennis shares his honest thoughts and reflections one year in, some never-before-seen behind-the-scenes images from his personal camera roll, and insights on how it all started.
Ready, set, hyperscale
Selecting the right location for hyperscale plants involves a careful balance of multiple factors. Reliable low-carbon energy supply, existing infrastructure, access to feedstock, a supportive regulatory environment, and availability of a skilled workforce are all critical aspects that we consider. Finding locations that meet all these criteria is a significant challenge, but it is essential for the success of our hyperscale operations and our mission to decarbonize and dewaste the textile industry.
