Clothes made from clothes

Evrnu was founded in Seattle in 2014 by Stacy Flynn, a textile industry veteran, to turn garment waste into new fibre. NuCycl is the result: a way for old clothing to become the raw material for new clothing, again and again.

How it's made

Cotton-rich waste is sorted, cleaned and purified, then dissolved into a pulp. That cellulose is extruded into new fibre whose properties can be tuned, from soft and drapey to strong, and spun into yarn for new fabric.

What it's made of

Regenerated from post-consumer cotton textile waste, Nucycl™ fibers are engineered to be recycled multiple times without quality degradation, offering a sustainable alternative to virgin cotton and polyester. Evrnu

How it feels

Soft, strong, and durable with a cotton-like feel. Nucycl™ fibers are biodegradable, compostable, and can be recycled up to five times, reducing reliance on virgin resources and minimizing environmental impact. Evrnu

Where it works

Ideal for Apparel (casual wear, dresses, outerwear), Home Textiles (bedding, curtains, upholstery), and Accessories (bags, hats, eco-friendly items). Nucycl™ fibers provide versatility across multiple textile products.

Caring for it

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent to preserve the fibers. Air dry whenever possible; if using a dryer, set to a low heat to avoid shrinkage. Avoid bleach, which can damage the fabric. Low iron if needed; the fabric's natural texture contributes to its aesthetic.

Certification

Often certified by OEKO-TEX® to ensure it is free from harmful substances. Additionally, Nucycl™ fibers may carry certifications related to recycled content and sustainability standards.
