Industrial Pilot and Scale-Up: A Decisive Step Towards the Industrialisation of Polyamide Recycling

What is an industrial pilot and why is it essential for polyamide recycling? Positioned between laboratory development and full-scale industrial production, an industrial pilot makes it possible to test process performance at a larger scale and assess yields, recycled material quality and process stability. Discover how this stage supports REC’s scale-up and the development of an industrial value chain dedicated to recycling complex textiles containing polyamide.

How is the French textile industry adapting to the challenges of the future ?

How can the French textile industry remain competitive while accelerating its ecological transition? Reindustrialisation, innovation, cooperation, industrial sovereignty and the circular economy are now at the heart of the transformation of the sector. Discover the major challenges facing the French textile industry and why recycling polyamide from complex textiles can contribute to building a more resilient and circular industry.

ICPE and Industrialisation: Regulatory Challenges for a Recycling Company

What regulatory requirements need to be anticipated when a recycling technology moves to industrial scale? In February 2025, Ecollant took part in a morning event dedicated to ICPE (Facilities Classified for Environmental Protection) at the AuxR_Green Lab Technopole. This meeting was an important opportunity to better understand the challenges related to safety, environmental impacts and compliance for a future industrial polyamide recycling facility. Discover how these requirements support the transition from innovation to industrialisation.

2025: From Laboratory to Scale-Up, Preparing for the Industrialisation of Polyamide Recycling

How do you move from a laboratory-developed technology to an industrial polyamide recycling process? In 2025, Ecollant, now REC, reached a strategic milestone with the scale-up of its technology for recycling complex textiles containing polyamide. This phase helped consolidate the process, assess its robustness and prepare for the transition to a larger scale. Discover the technological challenges involved in this key step towards industrialisation.
