01 / RESOURCES
Textiles turned into value
From textile remnants and recovered polymers we create a new resource for design and production.
Questo è il livello di rifiuti tessiligenerati in Europa ogni anno= 12.800.000 tonnellate
Scala dei rifiuti tessili in Europa — non una capacità produttiva ReCoTex.
Perché ReCoTex
Un altro percorso per i materiali tessili.
Colleghiamo la ricerca universitaria a un processo tecnologico applicato per partner di arredo e materiali.
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.
On research, FRC material and the future of furniture — published in 2024.
Furniture of the future – an Iași researcher’s unusual invention
Article with Eugen Ailenei’s statements on the project origins, the recycled-textile armchair and furniture potential.
“Here you have a thermo-press: you bring a 2D board, reheat it and form it.”
Excerpt from the published interview. The text reflects the project status in 2024.
