Driving Textile-to-Textile Recycling in Europe with the RE-APS Project

A turning point for the industry

With the 2024 revision of the Waste Shipment Regulation, Europe is entering a new era: exporting plastic waste outside OECD countries will no longer be an option đŸš«.

The challenge is clear build strong, local recycling capacities to turn waste into valuable resources.

From challenge to opportunity

At CETI, we see this transformation as a major opportunity to accelerate circularity in the textile industry.

Through the RE-APS project, we are contributing to the development of a high-performance, local textile-to-textile recycling value chain for polyester (PET) ♻.

Our commitment

CETI is actively investing its expertise, teams, and advanced equipment to:

  • Develop innovative recycling solutions 🔬,

  • Support ambitious R&D projects 🚀,

  • Help our clients and partners scale up their capabilities đŸ€.

Building the future of circular textiles

Creating a circular textile industry in Europe requires more than regulation — it requires innovation, collaboration, and industrial excellence.

At CETI, we are proud to be part of this transformation.
