PARIS - Textile recycling company Reju, which uses technology developed by IBM to recycle post-consumer textiles into virgin quality polyester, is teaming up with non-profit retailer Goodwill to help advance textile recycling in North America.
The multi-year initiative, in collaboration with environmental consultancy WM, will see the development of a collaborative model for regional textile collection, sorting, reuse and recycling that is intended to divert more nonwearable textile materials from the waste stream.
