Reju expands supply chain network with six global textile mills
Material regeneration firm Reju has partnered with six textile manufacturers across Europe and the US to scale the integration of recycled polyester into the supply chain.
Reju, a firm focused on textile regeneration, has established partnerships with six manufacturing facilities to accelerate the integration of recycled polyester into global supply chains. The collaborating partners include A. Sampaio, RDD Textiles, Tintex Textiles, FOV Fabrics, Utenos Trikotazas, and US-based Swisstex Direct. This network is intended to facilitate the conversion of raw materials from Reju's regeneration centers into finished fabrics.
The partners bring specialized capabilities, ranging from circular knitting and technical fabric development to sustainable dyeing and finishing. According to Reju CEO Patrik Frisk, the collaboration is designed to move the company's recycled polyester through the supply chain, ensuring that materials can be manufactured at a scale required by brands.
Reju is backed by Technip Energies and utilizes technology developed at IBM Research. The company's recent growth includes securing 135 million euros in funding from the Dutch government’s NIKI fund. The firm has also identified industrial sites in Rochester, New York, and Lacq, France, for the development of its future regeneration centers.
