RE&UP steps up at Première Vision: from newcomer to key player

After making its debut at Première Vision last year alongside ISKO, RE&UP returns in 2025 with a stronger presence and a bigger stage. The circular textile technology leader is now exhibiting independently in Hall 6, Booth 6S30 – and taking part in one of the show’s key panel discussions on textile recycling.

On 16 September at 3:00 PM, RE&UP General Manager Andreas Dorner will join Lutz Walter (TEXTILE ETP) and Lucie Ladigue (Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute) for the session “Tech, Feedstock and Flows: Inside the Recycling Value Chain”. Together, they’ll tackle the pressing realities of recycling – from feedstock challenges and logistics to the potential of truly “100% recycled” fibers. The talk, moderated by Elsa May, promises a deep dive into how regulation, technology, and collaboration can accelerate circularity. “Last year we were here as newcomers, introducing our vision,” says Andreas Dorner, General Manager at RE&UP.

“This year, we’re back to show how far we’ve come – with proven technology, new partnerships, and solutions that are ready to scale. PV is where the industry looks for what’s next, and we’re here to demonstrate that circular textiles are not the future, they’re the present.”

RE&UP’s expanded presence at the show reflects its growing role as a trusted partner for brands seeking scalable, textile-to-textile recycling. Visitors to Booth 6S30 can explore how the company’s modular technology transforms end-of-life textiles into high-quality, cost-competitive fibers that perform like virgin materials – ready to be integrated into mainstream collections today.
