Reju Selects Lacq for French Regeneration Hub, Expanding Circular Textile Infrastructure
Event summary
- Reju has selected Lacq, France as the site for its first industrial-scale Regeneration Hub on the Induslacq platform.
- The facility will use Reju's proprietary depolymerization technology to transform post-consumer textiles into recycled polyester (rBHET).
- Project is subject to final investment decision by Technip Energies' board, with potential to create 80 direct and 300+ indirect jobs.
- Hub aligns with Reju's existing operations in Frankfurt, Chemelot (Netherlands), and Rochester, NY.
The big picture
Reju's Lacq Regeneration Hub reinforces France's leadership in circular industrial innovation, addressing the critical gap where only 1% of discarded textiles are recycled into new garments. The project leverages Technip Energies' engineering expertise to scale textile-to-textile regeneration technology, positioning Reju as a key player in Europe's low-carbon transition. This expansion follows similar hub announcements in Germany and the US, signaling growing momentum in circular textile infrastructure.
