Building materials — 100% recycled textile waste

Bathing Jetty & Marina

Maintenance-free materials for environments close to water. Made from recycled textiles and plastic film – with no added binders. Developed for high wear resistance, low maintenance, and a long service life in demanding environments.

Applications

Built for water, weather, and wear

Materials for bathing jetties and marinas place specific demands on durability, safety, and maintenance. Retextil is developed specifically for these environments. The material is not affected by moisture like wood and requires minimal maintenance over time – while contributing to a more circular solution.

100% recycling

How it is recycled

From textile waste to robust profiles that withstand water, weather, and daily use in marinas and along the coast.

Applications

A material designed for water and weather

Why is the material suitable for bathing jetties and marinas?

Retextil is developed for environments with high exposure to water, moisture, and daily use. The material does not absorb water and is not affected in the same way as wood by shifts between wet and dry. This provides a stable surface with a consistent appearance over time – including in areas with saltwater and heavy traffic.

How does maintenance compare with wood?

Unlike traditional timber solutions, Retextil does not require oiling, painting, or ongoing treatment. The surface can be cleaned as needed, but no maintenance is required to preserve function or service life. This reduces both operating costs and time spent – especially in public and maritime environments.

What do we know about the material’s origin and process?

The material is produced from textile and plastic film waste with documented origin. The waste is collected and pre-sorted in Denmark and fine-sorted in the EU before being converted into new profiles. The entire process is traceable, and documentation is prepared to support requirements for material selection in both public and private projects.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to the most important questions about maritime possibilities with Retextil – including installation, durability, and practical use.

1. What makes Retextil suitable for bathing jetties and marina facilities?

Retextil is particularly suitable for environments close to water because the material is water-repellent, dimensionally stable, and does not degrade like wood. It requires minimal maintenance and retains its properties in both salt and freshwater.

2. How does the material perform in damp and wet environments?

The material does not absorb water in the same way as wood and is therefore resistant to rot, fungal growth, and frost cracking. This makes it ideal for structures that are constantly exposed to moisture.

3. Is Retextil slip-resistant?

Yes – the surface can be supplied with slip-resistant properties, which is important for safety on bathing jetties, walkways, and marina installations.

4. How does durability compare with wood?

Retextil has a significantly longer service life than traditional wood in exposed environments. It requires neither oiling, painting, nor ongoing treatment and retains both strength and appearance over time.

5. Can the material be used for load-bearing structures?

Yes – Retextil can be used for both load-bearing and non-load-bearing elements such as posts, decking, cladding, and walkways, depending on dimensioning and design.

6. How does the material affect the environment in marina areas?

Retextil is made from textile waste and helps reduce the amount of waste sent for incineration. At the same time, it avoids chemical impregnation, which is otherwise often used in wood for outdoor applications.

7. What maintenance requirements are there?

Very limited. Typically, regular cleaning is sufficient. There is no need for ongoing treatment, which reduces both operating costs and resource consumption.

8. Can Retextil be recycled after use?

Yes – the material can be re-granulated and incorporated into new products. This makes the solution circular and suitable for projects with a focus on sustainability and documentation.
