Reju, the innovator in textile-to-textile regeneration, has formed strategic partnership deals with multifilament yarn manufacturers Utexa and Antex to prove and upscale the commercial application of its REJU Polyester™ technology. The collaborations seek to incorporate Reju’s circular material into high-performance multifilament yarns for textile purposes, with production already in progress at Utexa’s plant in Choloma, Honduras, and Antex’s Spanish plant in Girona.
These yarns are planned for utilisation by Reju’s brand partners for garment prototyping and regional supply chain evaluation by October 2025, a major milestone in sustainable, near-shore production.
Patrik Frisk, Reju CEO said that this collaboration marks a critical milestone in accelerating the development of sustainable, premium yarns that align with today’s demand for eco-conscious, locally sourced textile solutions. He added that by leveraging the industrial strength of Utexa and Antex alongside their proprietary polyester, they’re proving that it’s possible to deliver world-class quality while supporting regenerative manufacturing across key global markets. This is about building a future where sustainability and performance go hand in hand.
Utexa President Jon Pavlansky also shared the enthusiasm, citing the partnership as a step toward reshaping the American textile landscape. He said that their collaboration with Reju reflects their mutual desire to move the textile industry forward in terms of innovation and agility within the region. Pavlansky added that they look forward to unlocking the potential of REJU Polyester and further innovating sustainable yarn development.
Marta Molist, Innovation and Sustainability Director at Antex, added that Reju’s circular polyester is a natural fit for their sustainability mission. “As a leader in multifilament yarns, we’re proud to support this next-gen material, bringing durability, quality, and environmental integrity to the forefront of textile supply chains at scale,” she said.
The collaborations highlight an increasing momentum within the industry toward circularity and sustainable innovation, with top mills and material innovators coming together to respond to both the environmental requirements and performance needs of contemporary fashion and textile markets.
