While unveiling Regen for Textile Production, and the duo’s collaboration during the Annual Meeting at New York Climate Week, Matter and Paradise explained how the new technology offers a “revolutionary solution” capable of reducing microfibre pollution across all 150,000 global textile factories, which are estimated to be responsible for “20% of the world’s clean water pollution.”
Matter, calling its technology a “major advancement” in sustainable textile manufacturing, highlighted that the patented self-cleaning filtration technology delivers a low-energy, low-cost microfibre capture solution that offers effective wastewater filtration without the carbon impact.

The technology reportedly also reduces chemical use, prolongs the life of water reuse systems and significantly cuts operating costs. Matter emphasised that a single manufacturing site could save up to 3 million kilowatt-hours annually and capture over 90 tonnes of microfibres, reducing carbon emissions by 2000 tonnes.
Matter also pointed out that Regen for Textile Production, which is currently in its R&D phase, is set for installation at Paradise Textiles’ new “state-of-the-art” low-impact fabric mill in Egypt by Q4 2025.
According to Matter, once operational, it will serve as a showcase of the technology for manufacturers and brands keen to adopt the new filtration device.
Recently, new research from the University of Leeds’ School of Design showed how changes to fibre composition and the systems used to spin yarn could reduce the volume of microfibres released from textiles and lessen their harmful impact on the environment.
