French textile recycling company Reju has announced that it had chosen the Chemelot Industrial Park in Sittard-Geleen, Netherlands, as the location for its first industrial scale recycling centre.

The company, which is owned by French engineering group Technip Energies, has announced an initial production capacity of 50,000 tonnes of recycled BHET per year.  Reju’s recycling process is based on a technology initially developed by IBM Research.

“Chemelot is the ideal environment for scaling our technology and integrating into a broader network of industrial power houses which are also focused on circularity. This is where we will prove that textile-to-textile circularity at scale is achievable,” commented Patrik Frisk, CEO of Reju.
