Truly
Aim to
Reduce
Today, recycled has become a common label. But what truly matters is what is being recycled—and how.
TEXNIC® didn’t set out to reuse post-consumer plastic bottles. We focused on high-performance industrial materials that are discarded before they ever become products—specifically, battery separators.
Due to their chemical resistance and heat sensitivity, these separators have historically been incinerated or landfilled.
We developed proprietary technologies to convert these inherently strong and functional materials into fabrics and yarns—ensuring they are no longer wasted.
What TEXNIC® reduces is not just waste, but the untapped potential of materials once deemed unrecyclable. We are minimizing not only emissions, but also the possibilities that conventional recycling methods have long overlooked.

Reversing the Assumption
That Recycling Was Impossible
TEXNIC® begins where the conventional textile industry ends.
We chose to work with a material no one had ever considered viable for textiles: discarded battery separators. Then, we developed original technologies to transform this overlooked waste into a high-performance textile with both environmental and functional value.
What matters to us is not how “eco-friendly” a fabric appears, but whether it’s structurally designed to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
Sustainability, in Numbers
Not all recycled materials deliver the same environmental performance.
In most cases, recycled polyester has an actual reuse yield of only about 60%, as a substantial portion of low-quality raw material is discarded during sorting and selection.
Additionally, during washing and contaminant removal, pollutants such as dyes, adhesives, and microplastics are released, resulting in additional wastewater and environmental pollution.
In contrast, TEXNIC® converts collected separators into new materials without any loss.
Because separators are inherently high-performance polymer films, they can be transformed into fabrics and yarns without chemical processing while retaining their original functionality.
Whereas in typical recycling methods nearly half of the material cannot be reused and is discarded, TEXNIC® uses every part of the collected resource, significantly increasing both the efficiency of recycling and the substance of environmental responsibility.
In both TEXNIC®’s laminating and slitting processes, no wastewater, chemical solvents, or secondary waste are generated.
Unlike conventional recycling methods, there is no washing with water or use of solvents to dissolve contaminants. Fabrics and yarns are produced entirely through mechanical processes, with complete conversion and zero byproducts.
100% yield, zero waste
These figures are more than just a measure of process efficiency. Through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we have officially verified that producing 1㎡ of TEXNIC® textile emits only 1.29 kg of CO₂.
This is significantly lower than that of conventional recycled materials, and TEXNIC® reduces environmental impact not by adding technology to an existing process, but by designing the process itself for sustainability.
Proven Sustainability
Sustainability is no longer proven by words alone
Today, it is standard practice to present actual figures and obtain verification against external standards.
TEXNIC® does not define environmental responsibility through technology alone.
We view independent review of both products and processes—followed by transparent disclosure of the results—as the starting point of sustainability. Beyond simply acquiring certifications, we have implemented the operational systems required by each standard and put them into practice.
LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
An assessment method that quantifies environmental impacts—such as carbon emissions, energy consumption, and pollutant release—across every stage of a product’s life cycle. TEXNIC® has been officially verified to emit only 1.29 kg CO₂e per 1 m² of textile produced.
ISO 14001
An environmental management system certification established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It evaluates whether an organization has set environmental objectives and is systematically managing the implementation and results. TEXNIC® has built and operates a framework to manage and improve all environmental impacts in its production sites.
GRS (Global Recycled Standard)
A global certification that verifies the origin and percentage of recycled materials while ensuring compliance with environmental and social responsibility standards throughout the entire production process. Through GRS certification, TEXNIC® has been verified for process transparency, material traceability, and adherence to social responsibility standards across its production.
We give discarded resources a second life, prove our responsibility through measurable data,
and establish verifiable standards of our own. With technology that redefines sustainability,
TEXNIC® will continue creating genuine transformation—not just change in words.
