Reju partners with six textile mills to scale recycled polyester supply
Material regeneration firm Reju has announced partnerships with six mills in Europe and the US to integrate recycled polyester into global textile supply chains.
Reju, a firm specializing in textile regeneration, has established a network of six textile mills to process regenerated polyester at scale. The collaborations include A. Sampaio, RDD Textiles, Tintex Textiles, FOV Fabrics, Utenos, and US-based Swisstex Direct.
The partnership aims to provide the necessary manufacturing capabilities to convert recycled raw materials into finished fabrics, including jersey, technical textiles, and seamless constructions. This effort is intended to bridge the gap between Reju's upcoming regeneration centers and brand-ready textile production.
CEO Patrik Frisk stated that the integration of these mills is essential for ensuring consistent material quality for manufacturers. The initiative reflects a shift toward moving textile-to-textile recycling from a theoretical framework to industrial application.
Reju is currently supported by investments from Technip Energies and is developing recycling facilities in France and the United States. The company's technology is based on research originally conducted by IBM.
