Reju partners with six textile mills to scale polyester regeneration
Material regeneration firm Reju is collaborating with six manufacturers in Europe and the U.S. to integrate recycled polyester into the global supply chain.
Reju, a firm focused on textile-to-textile polyester regeneration, is expanding its manufacturing network through new collaborations with six industrial mills. The initiative aims to transition the company's recycled output into finished, market-ready fabrics on an industrial scale.
The collaboration includes European firms A. Sampaio, RDD Textiles, Tintex Textiles, FOV Fabrics, and Utenos Trikotazas, alongside the U.S.-based Swisstex Direct. These facilities provide specialized infrastructure in circular knitting, technical weaving, and sustainable dyeing, which Reju states is necessary to move material from its future Regeneration Hubs into final product form.
"By bringing mills like these into our ecosystem, we can turn regenerated material into real product," said CEO Patrik Frisk. The strategy is designed to meet specific development demands from brands that have already signed agreements with the company.
This network expansion builds on significant recent funding and facility planning, including a 135 million euro investment from the Dutch government and upcoming hub locations in Rochester, New York, and Lacq, France. The company aims to move the industry toward a fully circular system.
