#Techtextil 2026

RE&UP to showcase Next-Gen circularity in ISKO Pro workwear at Techtextil

RE&UP takes part in Techtextil 2026, where the team will be present at the ISKO Pro booth (Hall 9, Booth D31). Together, RE&UP and ISKO Pro are demonstrating how textile-to-textile solutions meet the non-negotiable specifications of the workwear sector.

While durability has historically been a challenge for recycled materials, RE&UP’s Next-Gen Cotton and Polyester are engineered for the strength and consistency required for high-speed industrial production. Through a specialized decolorization process, RE&UP produces solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into existing spinning and weaving lines, without compromising quality or efficiency.

The success of these fibers in high-performance professional wear – combined with proven collaborations with global leaders like Puma, ONLY, and Madewell – confirms that RE&UP’s technology is no longer experimental. It is ready to be sourced, scaled, and used in commercial production to help manufacturers meet rising demand for sustainable materials.

The collaboration with ISKO Pro serves as a definitive proof of concept. By successfully incorporating RE&UP fibers into professional utility garments, the company proves that “closing the loop” is now a viable operational reality for the technical textile sector.

Marco Lucietti, Head of Global Marketing and Communications at RE&UP says: “At Techtextil, we are showing the value chain that circularity at scale is production-ready. By using ISKO Pro as our canvas, we demonstrate that our fibers can withstand the toughest mechanical and industrial environments.”
