A global leader in sustainable chemicals, Indorama Ventures Public Company has joined the innovative T-REX (Textile Recycling Excellence) Project. This ambitious initiative aims to establish a harmonised blueprint across the European Union for the closed-loop sorting and recycling of household textile waste, facilitating the fashion industry's transition towards a circular and sustainable future. By uniting key stakeholders across the entire value chain, the T-REX Project positions itself as a frontrunner in sustainable innovation.
As the designated spinning partner, Indorama Ventures will process chemically recycled feedstock into polyester yarns and fibers through the extrusion process, ensuring the removal of impurities. This role aligns with the company's broader goals of promoting the circular economy and advancing the circular fashion industry through PET recycling and the supply of recycled materials. It underscores Indorama Ventures' strong commitment to sustainability.
Diego Boeri, Executive President-Fiber Business, Indorama Ventures, says, utilisingcircular feedstock across the value chain to help partners achieve their sustainability goals, Indorama Ventures plans to leverage its technical expertise to boost textile-to-textile recycling within the T-REX Project.
Funded by the EU, The T-REX Project aims to create a unified system for post-consumer textile waste recycling in Europe. It brings together a consortium of 13 major players from across the value chain, alongside research institutes, to transform end-of-life textiles from waste into valuable feedstock. The project's goal is to develop new business models that can be scaled up, ultimately making a significant impact on the sustainability of the textile industry.
