Erema and BlockTexx have joined forces to revolutionize textile recycling, transforming post-consumer poly-cotton waste into new, high-quality fibers. Announced at K 2025 in Düsseldorf, the partnership combines Erema’s global recycling expertise with BlockTexx’s breakthrough fiber separation technology. Together, they’re scaling operations from a 10,000-tonne Australian plant to a 50,000-tonne facility, proving that large-scale textile recycling is both achievable and profitable. With PET fiber production now three times greater than PET bottles, the collaboration aims to close the loop on textiles and unlock the next era of circular fashion manufacturing
