The BioCircular Materials Alliance (BCMA) was founded to harness the transformative power of biology to accelerate the global transition toward a circular future. By bringing together leading brands, manufacturers, and innovators, the Alliance seeks to enable regeneration of biobased waste—including natural fibers—into valuable materials through microbial fermentation and other advanced processes. With a shared vision for a sustainable and circular bioeconomy, the Alliance fosters collaboration, research, and innovation to address some of the most pressing challenges in the industrial use of biomaterials.
AUTEFA SOLUTIONS
AUTEFA Solutions – Nonwovens develops turnkey lines and machinery for nonwovens production. At the Textiles Recycling Expo, we will highlight our focus on solutions for the textile circular economy, especially for processing recycled fibres, tearing fibres and textile waste. As textile recycling is becoming increasingly important for AUTEFA, we are using this platform to further expand our expertise in handling waste materials and to develop innovative solutions for applications and processes together with customers and industry professionals. At our booth, we will present a selection of samples, including airlay products demonstrating a wide range of structures and properties, natural fibres, recycling examples, tearing results, and card-crosslapped samples.

Allertex of America, Ltd
For 40+ years, Allertex of America has supplied premium machinery to the nonwovens, technical textile, and recycling markets. We provide everything from turn-key plants and process controls to strategic retrofits. Beyond core systems, we supply high-value ancillary spares, including fire protection and specialized pinned lag solutions, to minimize downtime and optimize your global manufacturing performance. For Executives, Plant Managers, Engineering and Maintenance teams, the challenge is clear: transforming textile and nonwoven waste into high-value raw materials while maintaining operational efficiency. Allertex of America invites you to explore how we are bridging the gap between sustainability goals and industrial-scale production highlighting two of our premier partners, Margasa and Texpin. Margasa – The Gold Standard in Tearing & Opening: Whether your facility handles post-industrial garment cutoffs, post-consumer clothing or high-density nonwoven edge trim, Margasa’s modular recycling lines offer the versatility needed for today’s diverse waste streams. Their technology—including the BTO-650 Trim Opener—is engineered for direct, inline feeding, reducing manual handling and ensuring consistent fiber quality for re-processing. The Texpin Advantage – Pinned Aluminum Lags For Engineering and Maintenance Managers, Texpin offers the durability and precision required to maintain consistent fiber opening across all major machinery platforms. Our specialized aluminum lags are engineered to clothe cylinders for the world’s leading recycling equipment, including but not limited to: – Margasa – Laroche – Dell’Orco & Villani – Italiana Rigenerazione (IR) – Truetzschler Why Texpin Lags Matter for Your Operation: Superior Heat Dissipation – High-grade aluminum construction manages thermal stress better than traditional materials, extending pin life during high-speed operation. Precision Pinning – Specialized pin angles and densities tailored to your specific waste stream—from post-consumer denim to high-tenacity nonwoven edge trim.
