Welcome to Transforming Textiles
Circular material systems for resilient industries and future habitats.
Textiles are one of humanity’s most intimate infrastructures. They touch skin, protect bodies, operate in hospitals, defense systems, cities and increasingly in space. Transforming Textiles develops advanced textile technologies and circular material platforms that transform fabrics from disposable products into long-life, regenerative infrastructure.

Transforming Textiles AB was founded in 2020 by Sara Rosberg, during a moment that revealed both the fragility and potential of the systems we rely on.
What began as an exploration into whether textiles, the most intimate infrastructure humanity lives in, could become responsive systems has evolved into a broader material and systems architecture.
Today, the company operates at the intersection of advanced materials, circular infrastructure, and intelligent textile systems. Its work bridges material science and systems engineering to transform textiles from passive products into active, long-life infrastructure.
To redefine textiles as intelligent, circular infrastructure, supporting health, inclusion, and sustainability across industries, environments, and planetary boundaries.
To design and develop material systems and circular infrastructure that:
Integrate Functionality directly into the fiber architecture
Reduce reliance on chemical treatments and disposable systems
Enble traceability, recovery, and long-term material value
Support both terrestrial and space-based applications
Current Landscape
Existing solutions usually operate in silos. Traditional materials remain passive and disconnected. IoT solutions rely on external sensors rather than embedded intelligence. Traceability and compliance systems are applied after production, as reporting layers rather than integrated capabilities. No existing category integrates intelligence directly into the material itself.
Paradigm Shift
Materials are no longer passive assets. They are becoming intelligent, connected, and part of a larger system architecture. The shift is from materials as products to materials as infrastructure. Compliance is no longer a reporting exercise it must be embedded into the infrastructure itself.
Transforming Textiles builds circular textile systems from the fiber level upward.
The system is designed to enable compliance with emerging regulatory frameworks, including Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), Digital Product Passports (DPP), and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), as well as evolving global legislation. Compliance is built into the material layer not added as a reporting function.
EU Regulations
ESPR-Eco design for sustainable practices
EPR-Extended producer Responsibilty
DPP-Digital Product Passport
USA
California Textiles Recovery Act
The current legislative framework for sustainability in fashion includes the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), along with emerging proposals such as the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), measures addressing Greenwashing, the Waste Framework Directive, and the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF). These collectively form the basis of evolving regulatory requirements aimed at improving environmental performance, transparency, and accountability across the fashion industry.

Fashion & Cultural Demonstration Technology
Sense-Tex® is a patented hybrid yarn architecture that embeds functional performance directly at the fiber level.
It enables:
• Hygiene resilience
• Reduced washing requirements
• Sensor integration
• Mechanical fiber-to-fiber separation
• Compatibility with chemical-free processing
Sense-Tex forms the material foundation of Re:Weave™. It is designed not only to perform, but to return.
Circular Textile Infrastructure
Re:Weave is a dual-use circular textile systems architecture designed to replace linear recycling models with structured material regeneration.
It enables:
• Material traceability
• Fiber separation
• Binder regeneration
• Reintegration into manufacturing
Supported by a multi-innovation patent portfolio, Re:Weave establishes protected pathways for circular textile infrastructure at industrial scale.Circularity is not added at the end. It is engineered into the lifecycle.
Applied Circular Design
Modality is the applied design and product environment where Transforming Textiles technologies meet real-world use.
Through Modality, Sense-Tex materials and circular design principles are translated into garments and textile products designed for longevity, performance, and future material recovery.
Modality demonstrates how circular textile systems can move from laboratory innovation to everyday environments.
Products are available through Modality.store, where research, design, and circular material innovation converge.
