Recyc’Elit on stage at Refashion Day: spotlight on chemical recycling for multi-fiber textiles
On November 3, 2026, Recyc’Elit presented its technology and initial achievements at Refashion Day, a key event for the textile industry.
A major event for the industry
Textiles account for the 5th largest share of the French carbon footprint. Opening Refashion Day, Bertrand Piccard pointed out that the industry emits more CO₂ than the aviation sector. Yet, he chose to share a message of hope: "Humanity doesn't want less, it wants BETTER." In his view, waste is not a problem; it is a source of revenue.
At Recyc’Elit, we have made this our business.
An answer to one of the greatest challenges in textile recycling
Our chemical recycling technology tackles the recycling of polyester-based multi-fiber textiles. We separate the polyester from the co-material (elastane, cotton, wool, etc.). The polyester is recovered in its original form (monomer), while the co-material remains intact. Both are then repurposed.
This approach is recognized: our solution has been awarded the "Efficient Solution" label by the Solar Impulse Foundation, which distinguishes solutions that are both profitable and environmentally friendly.
Proven results in the field with Nolt
As presented during the event, our solution has already proven its worth. Thanks to Refashion funding (AMI IMR), we have produced dozens of "Infinite Jerseys" with Nolt: jerseys recycled from textile-to-textile, made from used jerseys.
Paul Guinard, CEO of Nolt, called us a "gold-standard partner." We thank him for his trust and look forward to scaling up soon.
What's next: 100 tons per year, then a first plant
Our roadmap: 100 tons of recycled textiles per year within two years, followed by our first plant in 2030.
We thank Refashion for the invitation to this inspiring morning.
