Resortecs
Resortecs – REcycling, SORting, TEChnologieS – is an ecodesign frontrunner, leading the circular transition in fashion with design for disassembly. We make textile recycling easy for brands, sorters, and recyclers with heat-dissolvable stitching threads and thermal disassembly systems. Automating textile disassembly to simplify and accelerate textile recycling. Through targeted innovations in the way textile products are assembled and disassembled, we help fashion players rise to today’s environmental challenges at the pace and scale Earth needs. All without compromising the creativity, design, and quality of clothing. Resortecs’ thermal disassembly solution is five times faster than traditional disassembly methods and makes it possible to recycle up to 90% of the original fabric material: Smart Stitch™, our range of 16 bio-based and synthetic heat-dissolvable stitching threads, with different melting points (150 °C, 170 °C and 190 °C), enables brands to make products designed for disassembly, repair, and recycling from the manufacturing stage. Smart Disassembly™, our thermal disassembly system, enables recyclers to unlock higher volumes of premium-quality material, processing millions of garments/year with low emissions and no material damage so that fabrics can be used over and over again. Welcome to sustainability’s next level: circularity.
Reo Eco
We focus exclusively on recycling. Our fully vertical factory transforms waste into high-quality filament yarn, entirely in-house. By controlling every step, from sorting and recycling to polymer processing and spinning, we ensure consistency, traceability, and performance. BioCulus® is our enzymatic textile-to-textile recycling process, scaling up to 10,000 tons per year. It enables a new way to recover polyester from textile waste with precision and reliability. Our approach combines industrial scale with material science to deliver consistent, high-quality recycled solutions for the textile industry, setting new standards for quality and smarter resource use.
Renew System
Renew System offers cutting-edge chemical recycling technologies that transform waste plastic and textiles into high-quality raw materials. An innovative pre-treatment process for mixed textiles complements our existing depolymerization process. Our solution offers a leap towards plastic circularity that is both scalable and sustainable. | Renew System is a South Korean company offering cutting-edge chemical recycling technologies that transform colored, textile blends, and PET plastic into high-quality raw materials. Our proprietary pre-treatment process for textile blends, that can effectively extract dyes and separate materials from polyester, complements our existing depolymerization demo. Our depolymerization component itself is an upcycling platform that renders DMT from waste PET feedstock, and DOTP, a plasticizer derived from the DMT. Our solution offers a leap towards textile-to-textile, bottle-to-bottle circularity that is both scalable and sustainable.
REJU S.A.S.
Reju is a textile-to-textile materials regeneration company focusing on creating innovative solutions for recycling post-consumer polyester textiles and PET waste. Owned by Technip Energies and utilizing technology developed with IBM research, Reju aims to establish a global circular textile system to address PET plastic found in post-consumer textile waste.
Refibertech
Refibertech is a consortium of manufacturers launching a comprehensive recycling and manufacturing ecosystem that can turn textile waste back into new garments. Who’s aiming to provide the 360 degree of close-loop solution and vertical textile production service. With the help of patented scanning technology, the origin, authenticity and mixing ratio of the fiber can be verified at every point in the supply chain.
REFILON
Refilon is an industrial circular textile recycling solution based in the north of France. We produce new yarns made from local ressources, Post-consumers or industrial wastes. These yarns can be used to make new products (knitted or woven) with less environnemental impact. You are a brand or you have wastes you want to reuse, please come to see us!
