Waste Is Not a Liability, but a Valuable Resource Waiting to Be Mined.

Harvest Nano Inc: Textile-to-Cellulose/NanoCellulose Custom-Machines.

Harvest Nano Inc is an inventor-led company developing textile recycling → cellulose/nanocellulose materials through our complex, custom-made machines. Our work supports domestic circular manufacturing and high-value reuse of textile waste.

In 2023, Harvest Nano licensed its Textile waste IP/technology to Goodwill Industries of West Michigan to build a textile circularity machine, converting unsellable cotton textiles into higher-value cellulose and nanocellulose products. In October 2024, Goodwill publicly announced our joint effort to create andoperate Michigan’s first cotton waste textile circularity operative processing and recycling plant, turning non-saleable textile waste into cellulosic raw materials and nanocellulose. That milestone matters because the world is producing fiber at record levels, 124 million tons in 2023, while true textile-to-textile recycling remains a small fraction of the system. 

The license between Goodwill of West Michigan and Harvest Nano, Inc. Was terminated in April of 2026.

Pioneering Circularity: Custom Machinery for Nanocellulose Production

Harvest Nano is a leader & pioneer in engineering specialized hardware for the circular economy, designing and building custom machinery that converts organic waste into high-value materials. The below picture features the Pilot Machine developed for Goodwill Industries of West Michigan, a project that underscores our capability to deliver industrial-scale solutions for complex textile solutions.

Following a 2023 technology licensing agreement, October 2024 marked the public launch of Michigan’s first cotton waste textile circularity processing plant. This facility utilizes our proprietary equipment to transform non-saleable cotton textiles into cellulosic raw materials and nanocellulose compositions. With global fiber production accelerating in 2023, Harvest Nano is providing the critical infrastructure necessary to create scalable textile-to-textile recycling.
