Poulet shared: “Scaling textile recycling in Europe will only work if the whole value chain works together, from collection and sorting to pre-processing and recycling. This is bigger than any one company, so we’re joining ReHubs to connect with others across the industry and work together on the solutions needed to make textile recycling scale.”
ReHubs said on its LinkedIn page it was looking forward to working together with Epoch Biodesign to scale textile-to-textile recycling in Europe.
Last month, ReHubs named Béatrice Moureaux as chief executive officer (CEO), placing her at the forefront of efforts to scale textile-to-textile recycling across Europe. She succeeded Robert van de Kerkhof, who continues to support the European alliance as chairman of the Board.
Moureaux said: “I’m proud to take on the role of CEO at such an important moment for ReHubs and our industry. The road ahead will be challenging, and breaking the supply-demand deadlock to scale textile-to-textile recycling in Europe will require an openness to collaboration across the value chain and the right conditions for investment.
“ReHubs has a strong community of organisations committed to making this transition happen, and I look forward to continuing to work with and support our members as we take this next step together.”
