EarthProtex, the Vancouver-based producer of the recycled polyester, announced it has entered a strategic partnership with iTextiles to distribute the fiber to major Pakistan manufacturers and brands. The agreement brings together EarthProtex’s circular technology and iTextiles’ strong distribution network in the region.
Described as an alternative using single-use plastics such as PET bottles in the circular economy, Tex2Tex is a textile-to-textile recycling technology for synthetic textile waste. Through a low impact thermomechanical reactor process, Tex2Tex converts textile waste into recycled polyester staple fiber and filament.
The Tex2Tex’s life cycle assessment demonstrates that the process uses less energy and water, and has less carbon emissions compared to virgin polyester, as well as mechanically and chemically recycled RPET from bottles.
iTextiles is a multi-disciplinary textile solutions company that manages entire value chains in performance textiles. Known for introducing innovative textile solutions, it is also the distributor of Nature Coatings, Eastman Naia and Smart Linen.

EarthProtex’s partnership with iTextiles will focus on circular knits, warp knits, denim and socks. However, Tex2Tex is also suitable for home textiles, suiting, flannels, shirting, and other applications.
Some Pakistani denim mills are already using Tex2Tex. For the Spring/Summer 2025 collection, ADM used the recycled polyester alongside Circulose and Recovered recycled cotton.
US Denim Mills also introduced Tex2Tex to its menu of ingredients. Made with a high-capacity, cost-effective and BPA-free process, the mill reported that using 1 kilogram of Tex2Tex fibers can reduce energy consumption by 97 percent, water 99.7 percent and CO2 emissions 84 percent.
