Built by generations focused on circular materials innovation

Stewarted by Yitzac and Samuel Goldstein, Earth Protex brings together multi-generational expertise in material science, circularity, and industrial commercialization.

With a history deploying waste-to-resource technologies at commercial scale, the team has built global businesses Asia, Europe, and North America to accelerate the transition toward circular textile systems.

OPERATIONS

We validate on the line — not only in the lab.

Trade floors and mill visits are part of the product. Here is how we work beside partners before volume ships.

On site

Boots on the ground at scale.

We walk production lines with partners — validating yield, quality and chain of custody before a single kilogram ships to brands.

The Process

Sorting to Fiber. Proof is in the process.

Every stage of manufacturing — from textile sorting to fiber extrusion — is continuously monitored to ensure quality, consistency, and scalable commercial performance.

Request a technical meeting to explore our cradle-to-gate manufacturing pathway, where waste streams are transformed into traceable, high-performance circular materials ready for next-generation textile production.

Commercial reality

120 kt/yr Tex2Tex® capacity — textile waste in, certified recycled polyester out.

From trade-show conversations to reactor tours, we build trust the way the industry actually works: by showing the system, not only the slide deck.
