What OnceMore® does
OnceMore® is a chemical recycling process and brand operated by Södra, Sweden's largest forest owner association. The technology combines 20% RCS-certified post-consumer textile waste with wood from responsibly managed Swedish forests to produce dissolving pulp suitable for viscose, lyocell, and modal textile manufacturing. Launched in 2019 and headquartered in Växjö, Sweden, OnceMore® operates with a 14-person team and functions as an innovation initiative within Södra's broader forest industry group, which is owned by over 50,000 Swedish forest families.
The business model is B2B and sales-led: OnceMore® sells dissolving pulp to fiber producers, yarn manufacturers, and textile manufacturers who convert it into fabrics for fashion brands. Distribution is organized through the OnceMore® Together network, a structured partner program with tiered (Gold) membership that includes downstream fashion brand collaborations such as the 2025 Avavav AW26 shirt collection produced with New Focus Textiles. The process is powered almost entirely by renewable energy generated on-site at Södra's facilities from member-supplied wood, and the company publishes environmental impact metrics including a 0.75 kg-per-kg landfill diversion claim.
Strategically, OnceMore® is positioned at the upstream end of the recycled manmade cellulosic fiber value chain, seeking to secure long-term competitive advantage through proprietary recycling technology, certified and traceable feedstock, vertical integration with Södra's wood and energy supply, and ecosystem development via its partner network. No standalone financials are disclosed, and the unit does not have external investors identified in the source material.

OnceMore® competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Lenzing Group: Global incumbent producer of lyocell (Tencel), modal, and viscose fibers; Lenzing sets the quality and sustainability benchmark for the regenerated cellulose category OnceMore® feeds into and represents both a downstream buyer/partner and the most established competitive standard.
- Sateri: Major global viscose/lyocell producer serving the same downstream apparel brands as OnceMore®; relevant because its scale and sustainability program (e.g., Canopy commitments) shape procurement standards for recycled-content cellulosic feedstock.
- Birla Cellulose: One of the world's largest viscose/lyocell producers (Aditya Birla Group); relevant comparable because brand buyers evaluating OnceMore® pulp often benchmark it against Birla's Liva Reviva recycled-content fiber program.
- Eastman (Naia Renew): Large materials company whose Naia Renew cellulosic fiber uses recycled feedstocks; competes for the same fashion-brand sustainable fiber mandates and provides a benchmark for at-scale, branded recycled cellulosic offerings.
Direct peers
- Worn Again Technologies: UK-based chemical recycler of textiles-to-polyester and cellulose streams; targets the same brand demand for circular raw materials and competes for capital and partnership slots with OnceMore® in the textile-recycling ecosystem.
- Infinited Fiber Company (Infinna): Finland-based textile-to-textile recycler producing regenerated cellulose fiber (Infinna) from cellulose-rich textile waste — comparable technology and end-use (viscose/lyocell-adjacent fibers), targeting the same fashion-brand sustainability buyers as OnceMore®.
- Circ: US-based textile-to-textile recycler producing mixed-cellulose and polyester feedstocks; comparable technology category, comparable brand-customer overlap (fashion and apparel), and competes for the same recycled-content sourcing mandates.
- Renewcell (Circulose): Swedish dissolving-pulp producer that chemically recycles 100% textile waste into Circulose feedstock for viscose and lyocell — directly competes with OnceMore® in the recycled cellulose feedstock market, with overlapping customers (fashion brands) and similar RCS-style sustainability positioning.
Others
- Södra (parent ecosystem): Parent organization and forest-industry platform for OnceMore®; relevant as the upstream supplier of wood and renewable energy and as a strategic anchor — but not a direct market competitor in the recycling space.
Emerging players
- TreeToTextiles: Swedish forest-industry-backed developer of alternative cellulosic textile fibers using renewable forest feedstock — overlapping Swedish forest-industry DNA with OnceMore® and a confirmed partner (joint field trip with OnceMore® and Textile Exchange).
