Reju signs partnership with Rematrix to ensure sustainable textile supply chain
The agreement lays the foundation for a long-term collaboration aimed at supplying end-of-life textiles destined for Reju's Regeneration Hubs.
Reju™, azienda leader nella rigenerazione tessile e fortemente orientata alla sostenibilità, annuncia oggi la partnership con Rematrix, consorzio italiano di Responsabilità Estesa del Produttore (EPR) con sede a Vicenza, per assicurare una fornitura solida, conforme e sostenibile di tessili a fine vita. Questa collaborazione rappresenta un ulteriore passo avanti nell’impegno di Reju per costruire sistemi circolari capaci di affrontare su larga scala il problema dei rifiuti tessili.
The agreement lays the foundation for a long-term collaboration aimed at supplying end-of-life textiles destined for Reju's Regeneration Hubs. An initiative that contributes concretely to addressing the problem of post-consumer waste in the areas where it is generated, while promoting sustainable near-shoring solutions.
"Rematrix's ability to manage the entire life cycle of textile products, from collection to recycling, aligns perfectly with our mission. This alliance not only strengthens our procurement strategy, but also accelerates the industry's transition to a circular economy," said Patrik Frisk, CEO of Reju.
Added Enrico Soffiati, CEO of Rematrix: "In our reality, we believe that collaboration and technological innovation are essential elements to address the challenges related to textile waste. The partnership with Reju allows us to offer brands strategic tools to go beyond EPR obligations and concretely embrace a circular business model." In addition, he pointed out, "by combining our expertise in end-of-life textile collection and management with Reju's remanufacturing capabilities, we enable brands to take full control of their supply chains and gain a competitive advantage in a market increasingly driven by sustainability. This collaboration lays the foundation for an evolution of the textile companies' business model toward sustainable circularity, both environmentally and economically."
Rematrix supports brands in the textile and footwear industry in proactively managing the end-of-life phase of textile products, ensuring compliance with EPR regulations coming in Italy and the rest of Europe. Thanks to a structured industrial supply chain, a proprietary platform for traceability and a strong network of technological and commercial partners, Rematrix encourages the reuse and recycling of textile waste, as well as supporting the adoption of circular business models.
Rematrix rests on the service platform of Innovando, an operating partner and innovative reality that develops integrated solutions for the circular economy and sustainable resource management. Innovando's expertise in traceability, compliance and waste optimization will guarantee the quality and reliability of the supply, ensuring that all processed textiles meet the highest environmental standards, both in the post-production and post-consumer phases.
