Applications
What do you want to build?
Decking
Durable decking material made from recycled textiles. A strong alternative to wood. Developed for outdoor use with low maintenance and a smaller climate footprint.
Fencing & Railings
Strong, maintenance-free fencing solutions in recycled textiles. Designed for a long service life and a clean, modern look.
Bathing Jetty & Marina
Hard-wearing materials for bathing jetties, harbour environments, and structures close to water. Resistant to weather, wind, and everyday use.
Façade cladding
Façade cladding in recycled textiles with a robust, architectural look. Durable material with low maintenance and a clear circular profile.
From textile waste to construction material
We transform textile waste into durable construction materials through a proven, circular process.
Textile waste doesn’t have to end up as waste. Through a controlled, documented process, it is turned into durable construction materials with consistent properties and a long service life. The process ensures full traceability from collection to finished product and makes it possible to use the material in professional solutions where quality and stability are critical. See the process step by step below
Textile waste is collected from EU companies
Full documentation and traceability across all material streams
Sorted and downcycled — no additives are added
The only composite material in its class without a binder
Extruded into profiles and construction materials
Minimal expansion — handled like exotic hardwood
Delivered ready to use — service life for generations
Re-granulable at end of use — circular economy

Real-world examples
From textile to decking – what it looks like in real life
The material is used in both design and construction projects where durability and circularity go hand in hand. Here’s an example of how textile waste gets a new life in practice.
The material in practice
A construction material with a different background
Retextil’s materials are made from textile waste that cannot be reused in its original form.
Through sorting, processing, and production, it is turned into a stable composite material that can be used in both outdoor and indoor solutions.
This means waste becomes a resource – without compromising on function or durability.
When working with new materials, questions naturally arise.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
There are many questions about new materials – and that makes perfect sense. Here we’ve gathered answers to the most important questions about Retextil’s construction materials, so you can quickly learn more about properties, applications, and documentation.
What are Retextil construction materials made of?
Retextil construction materials are produced from recycled textile waste and plastic film. The material is extruded without the use of binders or chemical additives, resulting in a homogeneous and stable composite material.
How does Retextil differ from wood and other composite materials?
Retextil combines the strength of composite materials with consistent quality that isn’t affected by moisture, rot, or splintering. Unlike many other composites, no additives are used in production.
What applications is the material suitable for?
The material is typically used for decks, fencing, façades, bathing jetties, and other outdoor structures where durability and minimal maintenance are required.
Does Retextil require maintenance?
No. The material is maintenance-free and requires no oiling, painting, or impregnation. This makes it especially suitable for projects where operation and service life are critical.
What is the material’s service life?
Retextil is designed for a long service life – even in demanding environments. The material is not affected by moisture and does not degrade like traditional wood.
How is the material handled during construction?
Retextil can be worked with standard tools and installed in the same way as wood. This makes it easy to work with for both professionals and contractors.
Is the material documented and traceable?
Yes. The entire value chain is documented, and material streams are traceable from collection to finished product. This supports sustainability and certification requirements in construction projects.
Can the material be recycled again after use?
Yes. Retextil materials can be re-granulated and used in new products at the end of their service life, supporting a circular material flow.
