01 / RESOURCES
Textiles turned into value
From textile remnants and recovered polymers we create a new resource for design and production.

Échelle des déchets textiles en Europe — pas une capacité de production ReCoTex.
Pourquoi ReCoTex
Un autre parcours pour les matières textiles.
Nous relions la recherche universitaire à un procédé technologique appliqué pour des partenaires du mobilier et des matériaux.
02 / TECHNOLOGY
Panels and three-dimensional forms
FRC can be processed as panels or thermoformed into furniture parts and components.
03 / INDUSTRIALISATION
From research to prototype
European patent, rights acquired by the startup, equipment purchased and first technology samples.

Textile waste → useful material
We close the loop where others stop.
We turn textile and polymer streams into a shaped composite — panels, components and real prototypes, not just a recycling concept.

FRC material
A material for furniture and design.
Fabric Recycled Composite (FRC) is made by recovering textile and polymer waste streams, consolidated by thermopressing.
ReCoTex prioritises panels, assemblies, sub-assemblies and finished furniture. Planters and green-roof modules are complementary directions.
From research to practice
Concrete steps. A process in development.
This status describes work done so far — not a certified commercial production line.
STAGE 01
Research & patent
Developing the technology and protecting it with a patent.
STAGE 02
Technology transfer
Acquisition of patent rights from the university.
STAGE 03
Equipment
Purchasing machinery for experimentation and process development.
STAGE 04
First samples
First technological trials and optimisation directions.
Real and emerging applications
More than a panel. A material for new forms.
Existing prototypes and collaboration paths with manufacturers and designers.
Circular economy
Textiles, polymers and a material that restarts the cycle.
The ReCoTex circular symbol tells the story briefly: textile waste, polymer film and FRC composite — three streams in one recovery journey.
ReCoTex holds an environmental permit including R3 operation, under the conditions and waste categories stated in the permit — without claims beyond the authorised scope.
ReCoTex in the press
A story that reached the newspaper.
