Overview
Sateri’s Fibre Next (FINEX) Recycled Viscose Fiber is a sustainable breakthrough for the fashion and textile industry. It offers a circular alternative to virgin viscose (rayon) by utilizing post-consumer textile waste and post-industrial cotton scraps as raw materials. Produced through a high-efficiency closed-loop process, FINEX significantly minimizes water consumption and chemical usage. This innovation directly aligns with global efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of fibre production, turning textile waste into high-quality, fashion-ready materials.
Reduces waste, lowers water and energy consumption, supports circular economy, and maintains fibre quality.
Currently limited to cotton-based waste; not suitable for blended or synthetic materials.
Requires efficient waste collection and sorting systems, and ongoing efforts to scale the technology and reduce costs.

Operation and Application Requirement
The production of FINEX involves collecting and sorting cotton-rich waste, breaking it down into pulp, and then regenerating it into high-quality viscose fibre. A key advantage is that this process is seamlessly integrated into existing cellulose fibre production lines, making it highly scalable and ideal for large-scale manufacturing. Because the resulting fibre is fully compatible with standard textile production methods, it can be effortlessly adopted across a variety of applications, including apparel, activewear, and home textiles.
Sustainable Material Alternative
FINEX serves as a greener raw material alternative to conventional viscose and virgin cotton. By utilizing recycled cellulose, it significantly reduces the demand for new cotton—a crop notorious for its intensive land and water use—while simultaneously diverting textile waste from landfills. Beyond its environmental credentials, the fibre is naturally soft, breathable, and biodegradable, making it a highly attractive option for brands aiming to enhance their sustainability profile without compromising on quality or comfort.
Practical Applications and Case Sharing
Sateri has partnered with numerous fashion brands and recycling organizations to integrate FINEX seamlessly into their global supply chains. The fibre is currently utilized in the production of high-profile, eco-conscious clothing lines, providing clear evidence of its commercial viability and high-performance standards. These collaborations serve as a benchmark for the industry, highlighting how responsible raw material sourcing can be successfully achieved through a combination of technological innovation and deep supply chain cooperation.
Application Tips
FINEX is a market-ready solution that supports the fashion industry in transitioning to more sustainable raw material sourcing practices. Its success depends on collaborative efforts across the supply chain, from waste collection to fibre integration.
