To meet the rising market demand, Andritz will showcase its advanced process solutions at the Textile Recycling Expo in Brussels, Belgium, from June 4-5, 2025.

The expo will focus on technologies for the automated sorting of textiles and subsequent recycling processes, serving both textile and nonwoven applications.

A leader in providing industrially and economically sound solutions for automated textile sorting and fiber preparation, Andritz is also involved in developing mechanical and chemical recycling processes.

At the expo, the company will emphasize its industrial capabilities for recycling a wide range of pre- and post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste for various applications, including acoustic and thermal insulation, bedding, and automotive padding. With over a century of experience, Andritz possesses extensive expertise in high-quality tearing equipment for the efficient production of fibers for both nonwovens and yarn manufacturing.

Andritz and Pellenc ST will also present the latest advancements from their automated sorting process at the Nouvelles Fibres Textiles facility in Amplepuis, France.

This new plant features a complete automated sorting line on an industrial scale, a pre-tearing line, and a research and development center fully equipped with Andritz and Pellenc ST machinery. Customers can conduct trials, test processes, and recycle textiles into fibers at the facility.

The line is capable of automatically sorting garments by composition and color, addressing the needs of both the post-consumer and post-industrial waste markets. It can remove hard components like buttons and zippers and preparing the material for further processing on an Andritz tearing machine. The automated textile sorting line can process textile waste to produce recycled fibers for the spinning, nonwovens, and composites industries.
