OUR PROCESS

In our sorting facility we are capable of processing up to 2 millions of kilos of local waste streams. We developed the world’s first NIR technology-based sorter, capable of classifying textiles by color and material, and an advanced system that removes buttons, zippers, and labels using metal detection and camera technology.

At the heart of this system is the world’s first fully automated fiberizing machine, engineered specifically to process discarded clothing. Designed for flexibility, the machine line can handle a wide variety of materials in different ways, making it uniquely capable of tackling the complexity of textile waste streams. Through the reuse of colors embedded in discarded clothing, the system reduces reliance on water- and chemical-intensive dyeing, cutting the environmental impact even further. By integrating this breakthrough technology into Brightfiber Textiles’ recycling ecosystem, we enable scalable, high-quality fiber-to-fiber recycling — setting a new global benchmark for the circular fashion industry. 

Brightfiber Textiles sets its own standard when it comes to circular and sustainable textile products. Each product contains a minimum of 40% recycled clothing sourced from local waste streams, blended exclusively with other sustainable materials. 

Over the past few years, Brightfiber Textiles has developed its own premium collection of yarns in collaboration with experienced spinning partners across Europe. Each product contains a minimum of 40% recycled clothing sourced from local waste streams, blended exclusively with other sustainable materials.

Produced in Europe and Turkey, the entire process operates within a fully closed-loop system. Our knitting partners play a vital role in closing the loop. By working with specialized mills that share our vision for circularity, we transform Brightfiber’s recycled yarns into high-quality fabrics with minimal waste. These collaborations ensure precision, consistency, and scalability — from jersey and pique to structured knits — enabling us to deliver sustainable textiles tailored to the needs of fashion and workwear brands. Together, we demonstrate that circular production is not only possible, but commercially viable at scale.

Under the brand name BRIGHT.FIBER INSIDE®, the company supplies truly circular and sustainable fabrics and end products—such as t-shirts, polos, and sweaters— to fashion and workwear brands. Every product includes a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA), allowing consumers to see exactly how much CO2 and water they’ve saved compared to conventional cotton or wool garments.
