Textile EPR Services: From Compliance
to the circular supply chain

Rematrix is a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) specializing in the end-of-life management of textiles, apparel, and footwear. We support manufacturers, brands, importers, distributors, and retailers in achieving EPR compliance and in establishing traceable supply chains for collection, sorting, reuse, and recycling.

What we do

SIMPLIFIED EPR COMPLIANCE

We guide companies through the process of achieving EPR compliance in the textile sector: analyzing products and the volumes placed on the market, defining the participation model, organizing data, reporting, and providing support for regulatory compliance.

The Rematrix model integrates regulatory expertise, operational management, and digital tools. The goal is to simplify compliance and transform data, contributions, and aggregated volumes into a solid foundation for developing the EPR system.


l Management of Pre- and Post-Consumer Textile Flows

With the support of our network, we develop solutions tailored to:

Production scraps and returns
Unsold inventory
End-of-life products

Services may include take-back, collection, sorting, repair, reuse, recycling, and material recovery programs. In this way, Rematrix links post-consumer management to pre-consumer needs and supports companies throughout the entire product life cycle.

HOW WE DO IT

Rematrix's business model is based on three integrated pillars: an industrial supply chain, a proprietary digital platform, and an international network of specialized partners.

Integrated supply chain

We design and coordinate supply chains for
the management of textile and footwear products, from collection to final processing:

  • Collection, Take-Back, and Logistics

  • Sorting, Repair, Reuse, and Recycling

  • Production and Utilization of Secondary Raw Materials

Rematrix connects those who design and sell the product, those who collect and sort it, and those who can transform it into new raw materials.
The consortium model aggregates volumes and data, creating critical mass, continuity, and more favorable conditions for the development of industrial supply chains, with a particular focus on textile-to-textile applications.

Digital Technology and Data

iSystem, the proprietary digital platform developed by Innovando, supports:

  • Collection and Organization of Product and Flow Data

  • Traceability of Materials Throughout the Supply Chain

  • Reporting and Document Support

  • Operational Monitoring and Coordination of the Supply Chain

  • Data and indicators useful for assessing environmental impacts

The platform allows you to manage the data required for compliance and track material flows from collection through final processing. End-of-life information is more than just a reporting tool: it helps shed light on challenges in sorting and recycling and can guide future decisions regarding materials, design, and circular models.

Industrial and Technological Network

Rematrix brings together complementary expertise to offer customized services and projects:

  • Recycling Technologies for Fibers, Rubber, and Multi-Material Products

  • Rental, resale, repair,
    , and secondhand solutions

  • Designing circular programs and identifying funding opportunities

The network brings together collection and sorting operators, recyclers, technology companies, raw material producers, and research partners. This ecosystem makes it possible to identify the most suitable path based on the product, its composition, the volumes involved, and the available outlets.
