Phoenix Fibers

Phoenix Fibers is a Chandler, Arizona based, closed-loop textile recycling company operating since 2011. Each month Phoenix Fibers converts over 975 tons of denim and other clothing into “shoddy fiber,” which is then manufactured into many different products, including insulation used in cars, homes, appliances and even mattresses. Nothing goes to waste! Recyclable threads provided by Ridwell members are sent to Phoenix Fibers to be made into shoddy fiber or fiber filler.
