Phase 1: Foundations of a $10B Circular Economy
Building A New Industrial Infrastructure
SCE Textile Recycling is not launching a recycling center; instead, we are establishing industrial infrastructure to support a domestic circular textile economy. An initial $1.5M capital deployment activates Phase 1, which includes intake, sorting, and contamination-controlled preprocessing. This positioning enables the facility to tap into a projected $7.5B–$9.0B annual fiber resale market, driven by sustainability mandates, regulatory requirements, and increasing domestic supply chain demand, all aimed at textile waste diversion.
Phase 1 Establishes:
• Structured textile intake contracts
• Dedicated processing lines
• Immediate front-end logistics revenue
• Asset-backed facility development
• Workforce-heavy industrial operations
This phase is engineered to transition directly into Phase 2, full refinery operations, where purified, certified fiber becomes a high-value industrial commodity.
Partnership Opportunity
Why This Model Wins
The global textile system is under pressure as we move towards a circular textile economy.
• Sustainability mandates are tightening, particularly between 2026 and 2030.
• Corporations are now required to document textile waste diversion efforts.
• Federal procurement is increasingly prioritizing domestic sourcing.
• Textile production is responsible for 8–10% of global CO₂ emissions.
Yet, the United States lacks scalable textile refinement infrastructure to support this shift.
We are building it.
The Investment Thesis
It unlocks material flow, establishing processing capacity that is crucial for the circular textile economy. This approach creates immediate operational revenue while laying the foundation for a multi-line refinery model capable of expansion in line with sustainability mandates. This is not speculative technology; it is applied industrial engineering, effectively deployed in a regulatory-driven growth market focused on textile waste diversion.
Scalable. Repeatable. Asset-Based.
Each processing line is modular and expandable, supporting the principles of a circular textile economy. Each facility is retrofitted for capital efficiency, aligning with sustainability mandates. Each phase increases margin as textile waste diversion transforms fiber into certified industrial feedstock. The result: A scalable model positioned for multi-site replication.
