Cyclotexx: Sustainable Paper Bags Made From Textile Waste

Clothing and textiles quickly end up in the garbage and, in the worst case, are burned. Cyclotexx is intended to be the solution for recycling substances down to the last grain. We show you what sustainable paper is all about.

Cyclotexx: The sustainable paper made of cotton dust

The Cyclotexx is a sustainable role composed of cotton powder and other recycled paper means. And, according to the manufacturer Engel Karton und Papier GmbH, an infinite number of times can be recycled. The cyclone was immediately awarded the FSC recycled credit certificate. 

The cotton powder occurs when the garments have been torn. Not all garments can be used again and again, but can still be used as an insulating material, for example. To produce the insulating material, the fabrics must be torn. So far, this cotton powder has been burned. 

Cyclotexx Paper Angel Cardboard and Paper 

Cyclotexx paper is available in black, denim and beige. The manufacturer would like to give a first impression of the material with the selection, but it is already working in other colours. However, right now, it is still very difficult for Frank Engel, founder of Engel Karton und Papier GmbH, to offer other colours: “In the Turning process the old clothes, mostly the Bluishgoy cotton powder was generated for technical reasons due At the high percentage of jeans, but also due to mixed colours “.  

Compared to the “Normal” Paper

“In general, however, the production of recycled paper is more energy and a resource compared to primary fibre products,” says Frank Engel. However, the company cannot give any specific figures on the amount of energy and resources since the manufacturing processes of Cyclotexx are essentially the same as in the production of primary fibre paper. 

At this time, Cyclotexx is produced in small paper machines; Therefore, it is more expensive than the role of a standard that is in mass. 

The future of the Cyclotexx 

Fortunately, soon, you can use large machines and reduce the price of the card; Engel is looking for support from the fashion industry and is negotiating “with customers in the textile sector who wish to integrate Your sustainable product range. And services in consumer interest are willing to make some initial investments. “
