Reju and Rematrix forge landmark partnership to scale circular textile solutions
Reju™, the purpose-driven leading textile-to-textile regeneration company, today announced a partnership with Rematrix, a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) in Vicenza, Italy, securing a robust, compliant, and sustainable supply of end-of-life textiles. This partnership continues Reju's commitment to building circular systems that address fashion waste at scale.
Rematrix collaborates with fashion companies by proactively managing the end-of-life phase of textile products, ensuring compliance with the upcoming Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations in Italy and across Europe. Through an industrial supply chain, a proprietary traceability platform, and access to a strong network of technology and business partners, Rematrix promotes the reuse and recycling of textile waste and the development of circular business models.
This agreement establishes the foundation for a long-term supply partnership of waste textiles for Reju's Regeneration Hub. The partnership has an impact on the regional post-consumer waste problem in the areas the problem is created, helping to work towards enabling a solution and providing opportunities for near-shoring.
As the managing partner of the Rematrix Producer Responsibility Organization, Innovando, an innovative enterprise that develops integrated solutions for the circular economy, offering a platform of services and materials for the sustainable management of resources, will bring its expertise in traceability, compliance, and waste optimization to the partnership. Innovando's involvement ensures supply reliability and that all sourced textile waste meets the highest environmental standards, from post-production to post-consumption stages.
