This is a regional industrial facility dedicated to transforming textile waste into new raw materials as part of the EU-funded Interreg SUDOE Fashion Forward project.<\/p>\n<p>The event will be held at the industrial site in Le Vernet (494 Rue Cit\u00e9 Radio, 31810 Le Vernet).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Pilot Facility at the Heart of the Textile Circular Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The facility sorts and prepares textile waste to create a new raw material that is directly recycled by the cooperative&#8217;s members. This organizational model ensures sustainable, local, and traceable outlets for textile streams collected within the region.<\/p>\n<p>RECYCLocal Textiles was born from a collaboration between RECYCL&#8217;Occ Textile and eight founding partners\u2014Buitex, Coleo, Europrotect, Les Filatures du Parc, Paul Boy\u00e9 Technologies, PETshka, Atelier REGAIN, and RECYCL&#8217;Occ Textile\u2014united within a cooperative. Coleo manages general and operational direction, while RECYCL&#8217;Occ Textile holds the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pilot Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This pilot project, a flagship initiative of Fashion Forward, aims to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>develop an industrial-scale regional solution for sorting and recovering textile waste;<\/li>\n<li>transform non-reusable textiles into secondary raw materials tailored to recyclers&#8217; needs;<\/li>\n<li>ensure material traceability and promote recovery within circular value chains;<\/li>\n<li>achieve a 70% recovery rate for incoming textiles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the long term, the project aims to gradually increase the facility&#8217;s processing capacity, thereby helping to structure a genuine regional textile recycling industry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Environmental, economic, social, and regional impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few key figures illustrate the scope of this pilot project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1,000 tonnes of textiles processed in 2026;<\/li>\n<li>A controlled recovery rate of 70%;<\/li>\n<li>2 automated sorting lines installed;<\/li>\n<li>8 founding partners, representing various stages of the textile value chain;<\/li>\n<li>\u20ac2.2 million in industrial investment;<\/li>\n<li>A goal to integrate and train 10 sorting operators within the first year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inauguration program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The inauguration ceremony will be followed by a tour of the industrial site and a discussion on the challenges of the textile circular economy, concluding with a cocktail reception.<\/p>\n<p>Registration is required via the online form: https:\/\/www.billetweb.fr\/inauguration-recyclocal-textiles<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; On Thursday, October 1st, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, the inauguration of the RECYCLocal Textiles and COLEO pilot project in Occitanie will take place.
