Textile Recycling Main Page

A wide field of possibilities

Recycling at the highest level is one of the central topics for the next decade. Both consumers and government institutions are paying more and more attention to the topic. In the textile sector in particular, the pressure is growing due to the unabated demand for resources. 
ANDRITZ offers optimal recycling lines and equipment for industrial and pre-/post-consumer waste. The application and/or use of recycled textiles is worthwhile for many industries as the CO2 footprint required in many countries is improved for the companies.
