The problem is right before our eyes: every year, millions of tons of textile waste are thrown away. Mountains of fabrics, fibers, and pre- and post-consumer scraps end up in landfills or are incinerated.
Even in Europe—where environmental awareness is relatively high—only a small percentage of textile waste is actually recycled (according to a recent BCG report). The rest literally disappears, buried in landfills or burned.
Why?
The reasons are many: the difficulty of separating mixed materials, the lack of efficient technologies, high management costs, and the absence of truly circular supply chains. The result is that, despite good intentions, “textile recycling” remains more of a goal than a reality—a niche phenomenon rather than a widespread solution.
Regenesi: Regeneration Is in Our DNA
At Regenesi, regeneration is not just a guiding principle — it’s the foundation of our identity.
Since our beginning, we have believed that technological innovation can rewrite the rules of regeneration — giving new life to existing resources and creating value where others see only waste.
After seven years of research and development, together with Regenstech, we have created a revolutionary technology that brings to the textile industry something that didn’t exist before: Total Textile Circularity.
Respetto™: The Technology That Closes the Loop
Respetto™ is the patented technology that represents the perfect balance between science, industry, and nature.
It is the only process in the world capable of regenerating any type of textile waste — pre- or post-consumer, natural or synthetic, mono-material or mixed — without the need for sorting at input.
How?
Through a hybrid system that combines advanced mechanical recycling, industrial automation, and material science, Respetto™ transforms textiles into a new secondary raw material: a recycled and recyclable plastic of the highest quality, customizable according to client needs.
The result is a new generation of sustainable materials with tailored functional properties:
-
UV resistance
-
Food-grade compatibility
-
Odor neutrality
-
Wide color range
To date, we have developed over 80 different formulations in our lab, ready to be used across various industries — from design to automotive, from fashion to technical furnishings.
A platform of innovative materials that redefines the very concept of circularity.
Cassina x Regenesi: When Beauty Meets Regeneration
Within this framework comes the collaboration between Regenesi and Cassina, an icon of Italian design and a symbol of manufacturing excellence.
The goal was clear: to give a second life to textile waste from Cassina’s internal production processes — closing the loop in a concrete and measurable way.
Thanks to Respetto™ technology, production waste has been transformed into a new secondary raw material, used by Cassina to reissue a selection of iconic chairs designed by Philippe Starck.
This pilot project represents far more than an exercise in style — it’s proof that high-end design and sustainability can coexist, generating both aesthetic and ethical value.
As Luca Fuso, CEO of Cassina, stated:
“The implementation of Respetto™ technology represents another step toward a concrete change in our approach to production and design — an essential priority for Cassina. Starting this journey will allow us to create products that embody the fundamental principles of circularity.”
The result is tangible: a design object that carries within itself a story of innovation, responsibility, and beauty.
A concrete example of how circularity can enter industrial processes without compromising quality or brand identity.
From Waste to Rebirth: A New Paradigm for the Textile Industry
The Cassina case demonstrates that true textile circularity is possible today — not as a slogan, but as a real, scalable, and replicable technology.
With Respetto™, every scrap can become a resource, every brand can close its own loop, and every product can tell a story of regeneration.
It’s a paradigm shift that affects not only fashion and furniture, but the entire textile supply chain — from producers to designers, suppliers to end consumers.
Because only when the cycle is truly complete — from fiber to new material, from product to regenerated product — does sustainability become real.
The Future Is Called “Respetto”
With Regenesi and Regenstech, innovation meets responsibility, and technology becomes a tool for generating lasting value.
Our mission is clear: to regenerate resources, visions, and opportunities — building a future where every piece of textile waste represents not an end, but a new beginning.
