Renaissance Textile in Laval, France has started a textile recycling line, delivered, installed, and commissioned by Andritz Laroche, part of the technology group, Andritz. The state-of-the-art Andritz textile recycling equipment enabled Renaissance Textile to become the first French recycling platform dedicated to industrial end-of-life textiles.

The investment from Renaissance Textile makes it the first French recycling platform dedicated to industrial end-of-life textiles with the project producing new fibres from the collected post-consumer apparel, which will be used to weave new recycled fabrics.

Plant will process 3,000 tons of polycotton textiles annually, representing ten million items of regenerated clothing.

The new clothing produced based on this type of circular economy model thus reflects the social and sustainability commitments of Renaissance Textile in terms of decarbonizing the textile industry, the fight against global warming, autonomy in raw material sourcing, and promotion of local staffing.

Andritz Laroche delivered, installed, and successfully launched a comprehensive textile recycling line for Renaissance Textile, situated in Laval, France.
