RE&UP signs multi-year deal with Puma
RE&UP Recycling Technologies has signed a Letter of Intent to transform Puma's textile waste into RE&UP’s recycled cotton fibres and recycled polyester chips.

By 2030, its aims to use 30% fibre-to-fibre recycled polyester fabric for its apparel products.
As part of the expansion, Puma will introduce RE:FIBRE to the Americas, using RE&UP’s recycled raw materials within its local supply chain.
The Turkish company, part of the Sanko Group, is capable of processing diverse textile feedstocks, including polycotton and polyester-elastane. Its facility is powered by 100% renewable energy.
