We are Re-Fresh Global and we transform textile waste into valuable raw materials through our enzymatic hydrolysis process, driving a circular economy. We have a diverse group of experts that are specialists in biotechnology, material science, and circular economy strategies, and we are united by a shared mission to transform textile waste into valuable, sustainable resources.
PULVERA S.R.L.
Pulvera is an Italian start-up that recovers textile waste, pulverizes it using the advanced pulverization technology developed by its parent company, Casati Flock & Fibers, and uses the resulting powder to create new materials and products. Its mission is to lead companies in the textile sector toward a future that reduces waste, minimizes environmental impact, and enables a completely new, scalable, and tailor-made textile recycling process.
Planet Aid
Planet Aid is a non-profit organization operating community-based clothes collection programs and secondhand clothing stores to divert textile, promote reuse and generate funds for community development in the US and abroad. Planet Aid operates in 17 states along the East Coast and has over the last 30 years diverted more then 2 billion pounds of textiles from landfills while supporting community led development with more then $100 million. As part of continuing the strong tradition and emphasis on textile reuse, Planet Aid has started a new branch of second had retail stores. The Loop by Planet Aid focuses on fashion in full circle, by offering quality second hand clothing and engaging the community in repair and up cycling activiteis.
PETER
We developed PETER, a chemical recycling technology to recover polyester for low-quality, mixed, post-consumer textile waste, to produce renewed, virgin-grade polyester. We are While True, a cleantech startup, born in 2021 from a collaboration between packaging manufacturer Serioplast, chemical engineering firm Ballestra and the Politecnico di Milano. Come and visit our pilot plant! We are open for financing, joint ventures, licensing of the technology, buy feedstock, sell monomer/polymer, and more!
NTG AS
NTG AS is a Norwegian textile-to-textile GRS-certified mechanical recycling facility. We have over 5000 square meters for textile sorting and recycling facility. In our facility we can sort and recycle all type of textiles, both post- and pre-consumer textiles. Our main product is staple fibers for textile production, such as wool, cotton and blends like polycotton. We are also developing state-of-the art automated sorting system for efficient and accurate sorting of textiles for reuse and recycling.
Novobiom
At Novobiom, we draw inspiration from over 350 million years of natural innovation, leveraging the unique capabilities of fungi. We understand that efficiently processing mixed textile waste can be a complex area for our industry, and that’s where our fungal biorefinery platform comes in. Our integrated technology platform allows us to efficiently process a wide range of mixed textiles, often without the need for extensive pre-treatment, and transform them into new resources while recovering the polyester for further recycling. This isn’t just about waste disposal; it’s about creating entirely new value. Novobiom is committed to delivering sustainable and cost-effective solutions that drastically reduce the environmental impact of waste disposal. We’re not just offering a service; we’re building partnerships for a cleaner planet. We invite you to visit our booth to explore these opportunities further. Let’s discuss how Novobiom can help you achieve your sustainability goals and unlock new value from textile waste.
NOOSA
NOOSA™ is a material science company established in 2019. At NOOSA™, our goal is to pave the way for a textile industry free from fossil fuels. To achieve this, we developed a 100% bio-based and 100% recyclable fiber. Our primary product range includes staple fiber, spun yarn and multifilament. Thanks to our NOOCYCLE™ recycling technology, we are able to recycle it back into a 100% virgin fiber, and this endlessly. Working together with textile actors and people sharing our vision, we bring circularity to the textile industry.
MUSTHAD
Musthad is a SaaS platform that helps fashion companies optimize and make circular the management of textile waste and excess inventory. The platform transforms excess into efficiency by enabling the activation, monitoring, and reporting of circular supply chains, while reducing hidden operational costs.
Matoha Instrumentation
Matoha Instrumentation Ltd develops advanced textile sorting technology to improve recycling efficiency and reduce waste. Our FabriTell devices uses Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to quickly and accurately identify fabric compositions, enabling recyclers to separate materials more effectively and prevent contamination. We support textile recyclers, charities, and sustainability-focused businesses in closing the loop on textile waste. By providing fast, reliable, and easy-to-use sorting tools, we help the industry recover more valuable materials, reduce landfill dependency, and build a more circular economy for textiles.
Matoha
Matoha Instrumentation exists to solve a practical problem at the heart of textile recycling: we do not know, with enough certainty, what materials are really moving through the system. Matoha builds technology that identifies textiles at garment level, where decisions are actually made. Not in laboratories. Not in theory. On sorting tables, in live operations, under real-world conditions. Each scan replaces assumption with evidence. But identification alone is not enough. What matters is what follows. Every garment scanned becomes a data point. Over time, those data points create a clear, traceable picture of material flows: what fibres appear, in what volumes, at what quality, and where they go next. This is garment-level tracking and tracing, built from the ground up. That information changes behaviour. Sorters work with greater confidence. Recyclers plan with clearer inputs. Brands gain insight into post-consumer reality, rather than relying on models or averages. Decisions improve because the data improves. Matoha’s approach is deliberately grounded. The tools are simple to use, the outputs are practical, and the aim is progress rather than spectacle. In an industry full of ambition, we focus on delivery. At events, we show what already works. Real garments. Real scans. Real data. Because the transition to circular textiles will not be driven by promises, but by infrastructure that earns trust through use.
