Insights
Loop's new Twist™ polyester resin transforms textile waste into virgin-quality material, potentially creating significant value through textile circularity and reduced emissions.
Loop Industries' launch of Twist™ represents a significant advancement in textile recycling technology. The resin's ability to be made entirely from textile waste while achieving virgin-quality performance addresses a critical gap in the textile circular economy. Most current textile recycling systems degrade fiber quality or rely on PET bottles as feedstock rather than creating true textile-to-textile loops.
The technology employs chemical depolymerization to break down polyester waste into its base monomers (DMT and MEG), effectively removing all contaminants, dyes, and blended materials - technical hurdles that have historically limited textile recycling effectiveness. This process produces a chemically identical substitute for virgin polyester, maintaining the high performance standards required for fashion, sportswear, and home textile applications.
What distinguishes Twist™ from competitors is its embedded chemical traceability system, which allows verification of recycled content throughout the supply chain - a crucial feature as regulatory requirements and brand sustainability commitments increasingly demand authenticated recycled materials. This addresses the significant verification challenges plaguing textile recycling claims.
The environmental metrics are substantial, with the company claiming up to
A branded, circular polyester resin made entirely from textile waste and completely traceable from feedstock to final product.
Virgin-quality resin for high-performance applications including fashion, sportswear, and home textiles.
Low environmental footprint with significant reduction of CO₂ emissions.
MONTREAL, QC / ACCESS Newswire / July 30, 2025 / Loop Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:LOOP), a clean technology company accelerating circularity in plastic and fiber markets, today announced the launch of Twist™, a branded circular polyester resin made entirely from textile waste. Loop is currently advancing its discussions with apparel brands for offtake from its planned India JV and will supply Twist™ as its branded product offering. Originally developed as Loop's fiber-grade PET resin, the product has now been rebranded to reflect its role in helping the textile industry transition from linear to circular systems, shifting away from virgin materials and from bottle-to-textile recycling, to give global brands a high-performance solution that embodies both sustainability and next-gen material innovation.
Utilizing Loop's globally patented depolymerization technology, Twist™ is produced by breaking down polyester textile waste into its base monomers, DMT and MEG, which are then purified back to their initial purity, before being polymerized into Twist™ resin. This process removes all dyes, colorants, contaminants, and blends, delivering a resin that is chemically identical to virgin polyester. Textile-to-textile recycling allows apparel companies to mitigate the increasing environment impact of textile waste.
Twist™ achieves the highest purity, color and dyability consistency and increases production efficiency, making it fully compatible with existing spinning and manufacturing infrastructure.
The production of Twist™ saves up to 418,600 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually1 and reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to
Twist™ is set to transform textile recycling as the first textile-to-textile polyester resin offering complete traceability. Embedded chemical tracers allow customers to track finished products directly back to their original waste textile inputs. This transparency meticulously verifies every step of the recycling and manufacturing process, building crucial trust in the circular economy and setting a new standard for accountability in sustainable textile production. With full traceability from waste input to finished product, Twist™ empowers brands to confidently meet growing regulatory, and consumer demands for transparency and circularity.
Twist™ will be expanded from Loop's Terrebonne facility and produced at the Infinite Loop™ India facility, a strategically located manufacturing platform designed to serve global textile and apparel brands. The facility will provide Twist™ at competitive pricing levels. This combination of performance, price, traceability and sustainability positions Twist™ as a key material for brands seeking to lead on circularity and meet evolving sustainability targets.
"Twist™ represents a major step forward in closing the loop for textiles," said Giovanni Catino, Chief Revenue Officer of Loop Industries. "It supports the textile industry's shift toward a circular model and provides a unique product offering which meets the needs of Loop's customers as we secure agreements for the offtake of our India JV."
1A 70,000 tonne Infinite Loop™ facility could save up to 418,600 tonnes / year of CO₂ compared to virgin PET.
2Life Cycle Assessment of an Infinite Loop™ facility in India done by Franklin Associates, a division of ERG, compares kg for kg Loop PET vs. Virgin PET. CO2 savings are compared to the production of virgin PET made from fossil fuels and the avoided incineration of waste used as a feedstock.
