AACHEN, Germany — November 7, 2025 — Another successful year in our Industry Research Group Polymer Recycling is over.
We are proud to work with great industry partners to tackle the exciting challenges of textile recycling. Last week, we met at the ITA Institute for Textile Technology at RWTH Aachen University for the final meeting of the current project year. Together, we presented and reviewed the project results and set the course for the coming year in focused and productive discussions about enabling textile recycling. Here’s to another year full of new opportunities, effective collaborations and exciting projects. Let’s continue to drive change in 2026!
A huge thank you to our project partners for the great teamwork and shared passion for this important topic!
