Four integrated stages. Zero compromise on quality or traceability.
DataBeyond FastSort-Textile
Our DataBeyond FastSort-Textile line uses hyperspectral imaging to sort by fiber type, color, and contamination at 2+ tons per hour. Recognized by TIME as one of the Best Inventions of 2025, deployed at our Shanhesheng (Zhangjiagang) facility. Nylon garments are routed to a separate BASF-partnered recycling stream.
Cotton, Wool & Cashmere Processing
Cotton, wool, and cashmere are processed in-house into recycled fiber and fill material. Polyester-rich streams are reduced into textile popcorn and powder, optimizing surface area as prepared feedstock for enzymatic depolymerization. Mixed-fiber residuals become recycled cardboard, achieving near-zero landfill across all intake categories.
Partner: Suxin Technology (10+ years R&D since 2015)
Suxin Technology's proprietary enzymatic process depolymerizes polyester at 60°C in an aqueous phase with room-temperature purification and zero solvent introduction. Drawing on 100+ bacterial strains and 30+ proprietary enzymes, it removes PFAS, pigments, and antimony (Sb) that conventional chemical recycling cannot handle. Output: purified r-PTA and r-EG monomers. r-PTA capacity scales from 30,000+ tons/year (2026) to 200,000+ tons/year (2030).
GRS-Certified Partner Network
Monomers are repolymerized at GRS-certified partner facilities (110,000+ tons/year combined), then extruded into recycled polyester filament (200,000+ tons/year) and staple fiber. All outputs are GRS-certified and available with Aware™ tracer technology.
Physical Aware™ tracers are embedded at intake and survive every stage of the recycling process. Each batch is uniquely identifiable, enabling Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance, brand-level material provenance tracking, and full GRS chain-of-custody documentation.
T2T recycling converts post-consumer garments back into new textile fiber, rather than downcycling them into insulation, rags, or landfill. Weavive's process combines AI sorting, mechanical recycling, enzymatic depolymerization, polymerization, and fiber extrusion to produce virgin-equivalent polyester fiber from waste clothing.
DataBeyond's FastSort-Textile uses near-infrared hyperspectral imaging to identify fiber composition at the garment level. Each piece is scanned and classified by material type (polyester, cotton, nylon, wool, blends) at a throughput of 2+ tons per hour, enabling high-purity sorting that chemical recycling requires.
Enzymatic depolymerization uses engineered enzymes to break PET polyester back into its base monomers (PTA and EG) at low temperatures (~60 °C) in an aqueous process. Unlike mechanical recycling, it removes PFAS, pigments, and antimony (Sb), producing virgin-equivalent raw materials from colored, blended, or contaminated post-consumer textiles.
Weavive and its partner facilities hold GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification across the full chain. Output products are available with Aware™ tracer technology for Digital Product Passport (DPP) compliance. Carbon footprint is verified by SGS lifecycle assessment (LCA).
