Our Project
Crocus is an innovative research and development project focused on creating sustainable materials from textile waste. Since its inception in 2021, the initiative has transformed textile waste into panels and bricks, ideal for applications such as cladding, thermal insulation, and acoustic panels. This effort is part of a circular economy model, collaborating with companies that provide their waste to design functional products that can be reused internally. Currently, Crocus is in the laboratory validation phase, ensuring that its material meets rigorous resistance standards against factors such as fire, humidity, fungi, and pressure. With this proposal, Crocus aims not only to reduce the environmental impact of textile waste but also to offer practical and efficient solutions for the industrial sector.
Sustainable Material
Research on new materials from textile waste.
Textile Innovation
Development of an innovative material that uses textile waste to create sustainable and environmentally responsible solutions, promoting a circular economy and reducing waste in the textile industry.
Circular Economy
We promote the circular economy by using recycled materials, transforming textile waste into new products, thereby contributing to sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of fashion.
Our Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 targets adopted by the United Nations in 2015 to address the world's most pressing challenges, such as poverty, inequality, and climate change. These goals aim to promote comprehensive and sustainable development for all, ensuring that no one is left behind. Each SDG has specific targets that countries must achieve by 2030, covering areas such as quality education, health and well-being, gender equality, and climate action. Implementing the SDGs requires collaboration among governments, the private sector, civil society, and citizens, fostering an inclusive and participatory approach. In summary, the SDGs represent a global commitment to building a more just and sustainable future for the generations to come.

Value Proposition
Crocus presents itself as an innovative solution for companies looking to revalue their textile waste by transforming it into useful and sustainable products. Through this process, waste is converted into coatings, acoustic, and thermal insulation, which not only closes the production cycle but also minimizes environmental impact. By opting for this alternative, companies contribute to waste reduction while also obtaining high-quality materials with versatile aesthetic designs. In this way, Crocus positions itself as a key ally in the fight against textile pollution, promoting more responsible and sustainable practices within the industry.
I love their designs and that they are sustainable! Congratulations on creating a healthier environment with super innovative products made from textile waste! Beautiful work!
