Introducing the
Nucycl - Bevans 360 Hoodie
The ultimate in
eco-conscious fashion
The 360 Hoodie epitomizes the evolution from ‘sustainable fashion’ to just ‘fashion,’ dispelling any notion of compromise. Made with Nucycl fiber, from recycled cotton textile waste, this oversized hoodie is both sculpturally beautiful as well as ridiculously comfortable.
About Us
Evrnu® is an advanced material innovation company, reshaping resource utilization and reducing the negative environmental impacts of the textile industry. From infrastructure changes, to revolutionary material, our technology solutions aim to transform the manufacturing system’s obvious and underlying environmental flaws.
Tomorrow comes but once and it’s our role to make it brighter than today. Our goal is for all textiles to be successfully recyclable by 2030, creating a net neutral industry by 2050.
Our
Technology
When clothes become waste they end up in landfills. The material isn't recycled; it decomposes over hundreds of years emitting methane, a potent GHG, into our atmosphere.
The textile waste crisis is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time. We accept that challenge. A proven way to lower impact with more sustainable solutions for the industry is through the process of regeneration — using unwanted textiles to create engineered fibers, which can be recycled again and again.
Our first product innovation, Nucycl®, is a fiber regenerated from cotton textile waste, that provides a real alternative to high impact raw materials like cotton and polyester.
01Collect, Sort, Shred Textile Waste
We receive used garments and textile production waste with a high cotton content, such as worn-out clothing and production scraps. The textiles are sorted by fiber content, trims and accessories are removed, and then the fabric is shredded.
02Liquify/purify into liquid pulp
After shredding the fabric is liquified down to its molecular building blocks and contaminants are removed.
03Extrude pulp into fiber
The purified pulp is extruded into r-lyocell fiber which can be tailored to achieve a customer’s specific performance properties, such as abrasion resistance, stretch and absorption.
04Weave/knit fiber into fabric
Fiber is spun into yarns and then woven or knitted into fabrics which can be regenerated through the same process over and over.
