Textiles and Nonwovens

Textiles & Nonwovens

Textile recyclers work with mixed, tangled, and hard-to-process fibers. Enagon converts these materials into consistent, flowable fiber or particulate forms that move cleanly through recycling and remanufacturing systems.

Challenges We Solve

Long fibers that wrap or jam equipment
Blended textiles that resist uniform size reduction
Output inconsistency that limits reuse options
Difficulty producing a clean, uniform recycled fraction
Bulky scraps that are costly to handle or transport

Enagon mechanically converts textile waste into controlled, short, open fibers or fine particulates with high surface area. This improves flow behavior, increases uniformity, and enables easier integration into insulation, absorbents, fillers, composites, or engineered fiber blends.

Sample Feedstocks

Post-consumer apparel (cotton, polyester, blends)
Post-industrial nonwoven trim and selvage
Multi-layer or laminated textile offcuts
Granulated foams

Typical Outcomes

Reduced fiber length for improved processability
More consistent particle geometry for formulation and dosing
Greater openness and surface area for absorbency or bonding
Creation of uniform recycled fiber fractions suitable for new applications

Enagon has processed more than 100 unique feedstocks across ingredients, recycling, manufacturing, and bio-based industries. We support recyclers, material developers, and OEMs that need consistent, repeatable fiber and particle outputs. Our systems handle variable, mixed, or challenging materials with documented, production-ready reliability.
