Swiss innovation for a circular future

100% circular by 2030 - that is our promise to you and to nature. Another milestone on this path is our latest project in collaboration with the Swiss family business Säntis Textiles. Thanks to their innovative, fiber-friendly recycling process and the unique RCO100 fiber opening technology, we can recycle 100% of cotton that has already been processed. The result: a high-quality new product, our TreeShirt Mono Longsleeve.

Our first truly circular long-sleeved shirt - inspired by the cycle of nature

The TreeShirt Mono Longsleeve is of course brand new when it arrives at your home, but the yarn already has a long story to tell: The fibers of your new garment have been used for other textiles before and could now be used again through a special type of recycling technology. Unlike conventional mechanical recycling, this method allows the fibers to retain their original structure without damaging them. This creates a unique quality standard that you can now feel in your new longsleeve. And best of all: neither water nor industrial chemicals were used in its production!

How does the RCO100 recycling technology work?

Textile collection & sorting

Textile waste from the manufacturing process (fabric and yarn waste) as well as pre- and post-consumer clothing is collected and sorted by color and composition.

Dismantling the textiles

The textile waste is transported to the RCO1OO™ textile recycling plant and broken down into fiber form.

Fiber processing

The unique fiber-forward finishing technology gently opens the cotton and produces particularly long fibers without using water or chemicals, so that the fiber remains in its natural state and the high quality standard is maintained.

Yarn production

The mechanically recycled cotton is now processed into ready-to-spin yarn. This can hardly be distinguished from the original, virgin cotton yarn - but it is 100% recycled!
