On 4 February we gathered over 100 participants to present the innovations in recycling that are transforming our sector and opening up new industrial opportunities to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

A day of collaboration

Introduced by Geneviève Ferone Creuzet (The Shift Project) and moderated by David Ascher (Actu Environnement), the Recycle Summit provided a unique forum for discussion between manufacturers, brands, recyclers, entrepreneurs and project leaders. 
The aim? To share the results of our studies and experiments, discover concrete innovations and build tomorrow's solutions for industrialising the recycling of non-reusable textiles and footwear. 

Concrete solutions to industrialise textile and footwear recycling

The event provided an opportunity to showcase the 2024 winners of our Innovation Challenge and Industrial Challenge calls for projects, aimed respectively at identifying innovative textile and footwear recycling solutions and accelerating textile and footwear recycling in France and Europe, through the industrialisation of innovative technologies and industrial outlets.
