Reju Partners with Rematrix for Sustainable Textile Supply Chain

Reju Partners with Rematrix for a Sustainable Textile Supply Chain



In a significant move towards sustainability in the textile industry, Reju™, a leading company specializing in textile regeneration, has recently announced a partnership with Rematrix, an Italian organization focused on the extended producer responsibility (EPR) in Vicenza, Italy. This collaboration aims to create a dependable, compliant, and sustainable supply chain for end-of-life textiles, reinforcing Reju's commitment to establishing circular systems that effectively manage textile waste on a large scale.

Rematrix has carved out a niche by proactively managing the end-of-life phase of textile products, ensuring compliance with EPR regulations not only in Italy but across Europe. With a robust industrial supply chain, an exclusive traceability platform, and a strong network of technological and commercial partners, Rematrix fosters an environment where textile waste can be reused and recycled, promoting the implementation of sustainable business models.

The partnership lays the groundwork for a long-term supply agreement for used textiles, which will directly benefit Reju’s regeneration facilities. This initiative addresses the regional challenge of post-consumer waste in areas where it is generated, thus contributing to finding local solutions and creating nearby outsourcing opportunities.

As Patrik Frisk, Reju’s CEO, emphasizes, “The ability of Rematrix to manage the entire lifecycle of textile products—from collection to recycling—perfectly aligns with our mission. This alliance not only supports our material sourcing strategy but also accelerates the industry’s transition toward a circular economy.”

Innovando, an innovative company that develops integrated solutions for the circular economy, will also contribute to this partnership by ensuring reliable supply and compliance with strict environmental standards for all textile waste, from post-production to post-consumption.

Enrico Soffiati, CEO of Rematrix, highlights the emphasis on collaboration and technological innovation, stating, “This partnership allows us to provide brands with strategic tools to go beyond EPR requirements and adopt a practical circular business model.” By combining their expertise in end-of-life textile management with Reju’s regeneration capabilities, brands can gain complete control over their supply chains and secure a competitive edge in a market that increasingly prioritizes sustainability.

The agreement not only marks a significant step towards sustainable business practices but also sets the foundation for textile companies to transition their economic models to achieve long-term environmental and economic circularity. Both Reju and Rematrix share a vision where collaboration plays a vital role in addressing the pressing issues of textile waste and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
