    EINDHOVEN – RE&UP has become the first company in the textile industry to receive C2C Certified Circularity for all of its products. The certification, developed by the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, recognises full-system circular design and readiness for recovery at scale.

    The Netherlands-based recycler produces next-generation cotton and polyester materials from textile waste. All three of its core products – recycled cotton from pre- and post-consumer sources and recycled polyester chips – have been certified under the Cradle to Cradle scheme. The recycled cotton products were certified at Platinum level, while the polyester chips received Silver.

    The certification process assesses compatibility with recycling infrastructure, safe chemical composition, circularity data transparency, and the viability of reuse systems. It is conducted by an accredited third-party assessor, Eco Intelligent Growth.

    RE&UP’s general manager Andreas Dorner said the certification validates the company’s efforts to provide scalable circularity solutions: “It proves that recycled fibres can go beyond one-off sustainability claims.”

    Chief sustainability officer Ebru Özküçük Guler said the certification considered not only recycled content, but also recovery-readiness and infrastructure compatibility. “It reflects the robust technology of our approach and our commitment to creating solutions that don’t compromise on quality, scale, or impact,” she added.

    RE&UP’s fibres are already being used by fashion brands and are said to offer performance on par with virgin materials. The company positions itself as a technology leader in enabling textile circularity at scale.

    Commenting on the award, Nienke Steen, director of apparel, textiles and footwear at the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute, said: “RE&UP has demonstrated that its fibre production is not just compatible with circularity, it’s purpose-built for it.”

    Elwyn Grainger-Jones, CEO of the Institute, said the achievement “raises the bar for what’s possible and expected from material suppliers across the fashion and textile sectors.”
