Japan's Innovative Recycling Material: Clothxxg

On June 13, 2025, EcoLog Recycling Japan, based in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, launched a pioneering new material brand, Clothxxg (クロージング). This revolutionary material is produced entirely from discarded clothing, utilizing a unique method that maintains the original colors of the garments. The result is a pelletized form that can be transformed into various products ranging from construction materials to interior design items and beyond.

What Is Clothxxg?

Clothxxg represents a significant advancement in recycling technology, where post-consumer clothing is broken down, melted, and pelletized. These pellets not only serve as raw materials for construction and product design but can also be regenerated into fibers, yarns, and fabrics. This means that the potential for using clothing-derived materials can evolve and adapt based on specific application needs, enhancing the circular economy.

Addressing Recycling Challenges

Historically, recycling materials have faced limitations, particularly in color selection. Clothxxg addresses this issue through innovative technology that allows for the sorting and recycling of materials based on color and origin. By maintaining the narrative of the garments—be it from traditional kimonos, curtains, or sportswear—the brand breathes new life into materials while overcoming the traditional barriers associated with recycling.

This approach fosters diversity in expression, allowing for variations in material texture, finish, and design possibilities, which can significantly inspire creative projects across various design fields.

Practical Applications Across Industries

Clothxxg's versatility is reflected in its potential applications across a wide range of industries. Already, several sectors have begun to embrace this new recycling material. Some of the applications include:

• - Building Materials: Walls, floors, and plates
• - Interior Products: Fixtures, lighting, and panels
• - Product Design: Keychains, cups, and stationery
• - Cosmetic Containers, Appliance Parts, and Fashion Retail Fixtures

Clothxxg not only represents a technological innovation but also a sustainable alternative that stands to reshape how industries perceive and utilize discarded textiles.

Shaping a Sustainable Future

As a 100% clothing-derived material that requires no dyes or chemicals in its regeneration process, Clothxxg stands at the forefront of sustainable material innovations. It represents a commitment to connect discarded clothing to their next valuable life, contributing to a sustainable future where recycling, reusing, and repurposing become commonplace practices.

By advocating for the idea of not throwing away but recycling and revitalizing, Clothxxg encourages consumers and industries alike to partake in a forward-thinking approach to material selection. This approach not only supports environmental conservation but also enhances aesthetic and functional aspects in various applications.

Upcoming Exhibition: Interiorlifestyle TOKYO 2025

Clothxxg will make its debut at the Interiorlifestyle TOKYO 2025, an event that runs from June 18 to 20 at Tokyo Big Sight. This exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for companies, designers, and brands to collaborate and explore creative possibilities using this innovative material.
