About Us
NexTiles is a Detroit-based textile recycling and secondary use company, specializing in manufacturing eco-friendly textile products that can re-enter the circular economy at end of life.
The NexTiles vision uses textile waste from U.S. automotive and apparel manufacturers as feedstock for these products.
NexTiles changes lives for Detroiters by locally manufacturing products to create clean jobs, diverting textile waste from landfills, and contributing to the growth of the circular economy.
