Re&Up
NextGen recycler Re&Up has made industry history by becoming the first textile company to achieve Cradle to Cradle (C2C) certification, the gold standard for verifying product circularity, across its entire product portfolio. The company earned Platinum-level C2C certification for its pre- and post-consumer recycled cotton, and Silver-level for its recycled polyester chips.
Unlike certifications that focus solely on recycled content, the C2C framework evaluates the full product lifecycle, from material sourcing and safety to infrastructure compatibility, reuse potential, and long-term circularity.
“This isn’t just about recycled fibres,” said Andreas Dorner, General Manager at Re&Up. “It’s about proving that circularity can be scaled across the textile industry with full traceability, end-of-life planning, and zero compromise on quality.”
The company’s fibres are already being adopted by leading global fashion brands, offering performance on par with virgin materials and full compliance with traceability demands.
