Circular Textile Ecosystems

Reju and Nouvelles Fibres Textiles (NFT) have entered a strategic partnership to enhance textile waste recycling and establish a robust circular textile ecosystem in France. NFT will "supply Reju with secondary raw materials sourced from post-consumer and post-industrial textile waste, which will use these inputs to produce its innovative Reju Polyester."

The collaboration aims to develop advanced infrastructure for textile waste collection and processing while ensuring complete transparency and traceability across the supply chain. Reju is at the forefront of large-scale textile waste regeneration, focusing initially on polyester as Reju Polyester is "designed to achieve a 50% lower carbon footprint than virgin polyester and offers the capability for infinite recycling."

Moreover, Reju’s Frankfurt-based Regeneration Hub Zero is now operational and will facilitate the production of Reju PET by 2025, with future hubs planned across Europe.
