Reju joins forces with Nouvelles Fibres Textiles to create a circular textile ecosystem
Reju™, a textile-to-textile regeneration company, and Nouvelles Fibres Textiles (NFT), a French company specializing in the recovery of end-of-life textiles, announced a collaboration on the sourcing and recycling of textile waste to support the building of a circular ecosystem in France. NFT will supply secondary raw materials derived from used or unused waste textiles to Reju to recycle and produce regenerated Reju Polyester™.
Reju and NFT will collaborate to expand the collection and processing infrastructure for apparel and textile wastes from post-consumer and post-industrial sources. The collaboration will also allow for an open supply chain and guarantee 100% traceability of recycled materials.
Reju is developing the infrastructure to regenerate textile waste at scale, starting with polyester. The end product—Reju Polyester™—is expected to have a 50% lower carbon footprint than virgin polyester and can be regenerated infinitely. Reju's first demonstration plant—Regeneration Hub Zero—is now operational in Frankfurt, Germany, and will come online to enable the production of Reju PET in 2025.
