Les Tissages de Charlieu and Synergies TLC, who recently founded Nouveaux Fibres Textiles, have decades of experience in sorting technologies (Pellenc ST), textile machinery and processes (ANDRITZ), and post-consumer textile value chains (from sorting to manufacturing).
The automated sorting technologies of Pellenc ST and ANDRITZ are being combined for the first time in the new textile sorting line that is being constructed. To create recycled fibre engineered for the spinning, nonwoven, and composite industries, post-consumer textile waste will be processed. It will begin operations in the middle of 2023 and act as a manufacturing line for Nouvelles Fibres Textiles, a research and development line for the three partners, and a test and demonstration facility for its clients.
The objective of Nouvelles Fibres Textiles is to become a Thanks to cutting-edge technologies with hard point removal that provide pure fibres, selected colours, and distinct fibre types, industrial grade material production and industrial scale post-consumer textile sorting have been made possible.
To continue pushing technological boundaries, Nouvelles Fibres Textiles’ partners collaborate closely in research and development at the ANDRITZ Laroche and Pellenc ST technical centres.
“We are very proud to announce the launch of the Nouvelles Fibres Textiles partnership,” says Eric Bol, president of Nouvelles Fibres Textiles. This was made possible by several years of R&D with important figures from the textile and domestic waste management industries. By fully integrating the value chain, we all contributed our knowledge and skills to promoting circularity for textiles on the ground. This ensures the traceability of recovered materials, reduces the environmental effects of the textile and composites sectors, and their carbon footprint while generating worthwhile jobs.
