Construction and infrastructure.Circular raw material with a specification, a certificate and a traceable origin.
Circular raw material, with the receipts.
ēkot recovers post-consumer textiles and soft goods, processes them into circular raw materials that industry can specify, and tracks every batch end-to-end on ēkotrace so buyers can prove their origin.
Two things we do. One system.
The material is the product. The evidence is what makes it worth paying for.
Certified circular material.
We recover post-consumer textiles and soft goods, sort and treat them to a defined specification, and supply them as circular raw material for industries. Every batch carries a certificate stating composition, recycled content and verified diversion, so your engineers can specify it and your auditors can trace it.
ēkotrace.
ēkotrace is the evidence layer underneath. Every gate event is hash-chained and tamper-evident; carbon is calculated using MfE 2025 emission factors, and reporting is designed for ISO 59014, ISO 59020 and the EU Digital Product Passport. Anyone can verify a record without an account, because a claim you have to take on trust is not really a claim.
Proof is becoming the price of entry.
New Zealand's landfill levy reached NZ$70 a tonne in July 2026 and lifts to NZ$75 in July 2027. Textile product stewardship is being costed right now. In Australia, Seamless is setting the terms for apparel. In the European Union, the Digital Product Passport will require brands to evidence what actually happened to their products.
The direction of travel is the same everywhere. Buyers, regulators and auditors are moving from claimed impact to proven impact. A spreadsheet and a supplier declaration will not survive that shift.
