Reju Announces Site Selection for French Regeneration Hub in Lacq Advancing Europe's Circular Textile Infrastructure
Reju's new hub will create 80 direct and over 300 indirect jobs, using proprietary technology to recycle textile waste into regenerated polyester materials.
- Reju, a Technip Energies-owned company, selected Lacq on the Induslacq industrial platform for a Regeneration Hub, with CEO Patrik Frisk saying, 'This French Regeneration Hub builds on our strategy to industrialize a circular post-consumer textile-to-textile model.'
- Aligned with Reju's established operations, the Hub complements expansion with Regeneration Hub Zero in Frankfurt, Chemelot in the Netherlands, and a U.S. Hub in Rochester, targeting a traceable textile ecosystem in France.
- Using proprietary depolymerization technology developed with IBM Research, the plant will convert post-consumer textiles into rBHET and Reju PET, subject to final investment decision by Technip Energies' board.
- Local officials say the project would generate 80 direct jobs and more than 300 indirect jobs in the France's Lacq Basin, supporting decarbonization and local industry. The decision underscores the basin's attractiveness.
- Reju aims to establish a global circular textiles system, with the French Hub positioned to scale that model, backed by Technip Energies' expertise and 1% recycling rate.
