Paris-headquartered textile-to-textile regeneration company Reju has announced plans for product validation and adoption with Antex and Utexa, two global leaders in multifilament yarn production with manufacturing locations in Europe and the Americas.

Yarns produced with Reju Polyester at the Antex plant in Girona, Spain, and the Utexa plant in Choloma, Honduras, are scheduled to be used by brand partners for garment development and the analysis of near shore supply chains by October 2025.

The partnerships are part of Reju’s strategy to create measurable impact on post-consumer textile waste on a regional basis. Building a new circular textile system that helps to enable the aggregation of textile waste as well as the sorting and preparation infrastructure for recycling to be built and scale will allow EPR schemes to become possible in these regions. The partnerships will also provide opportunities for diversifying and near-shoring portions of their supply chains.

“These partnerships accelerate the development of high-quality, sustainable yarns meeting the growing demand for environmentally responsible, regionally sourced textile solutions,” said Patrik Frisk, CEO at Reju. “Aligning with these mills will enable us to deliver products that meet the expectations of conscious consumers.”

Reju’s regeneration process provides a 100% textile-to-textile recycled polyester with a carbon footprint about 50% lower than that of virgin polyester. Reju Polyester is of the highest grade for textile applications, avoiding the thermal degradation, contaminants and co-monomers often associated with thermo-mechanical recycling processes.

By focusing on the local challenge of post-consumer waste and identifying partners in-region, partnering with Reju advances a stable, near-shore supply chain option that can improve flexibility and time-to-market for brands.
