Textile-to-textile recycling gains momentum at ITMA Asia + CITME SG 2025

Textile-to-textile recycling is projected to become a US$30 billion market by 2030, driven by tightening regulations and a global shift toward circular production. This first Show Preview looks ahead to ITMA ASIA + CITME in Singapore, 28–31 October 2025, where visitors will see solutions across fibre recovery, AI-powered sorting, and spinning of premium yarn from waste textiles. These advances aim to make the industry more resource-efficient and competitive.

What you’ll find on the floor

Fibre recovery and preparation

• ALC (Laroche), Hall 2 — fibre opening and preparation lines central to mechanical textile-to-textile recycling. Working with Rieter, Hall 3 on a refined system for recycled yarn production and on chemical recycling treatments.
• Masias, Hall 2 — mechanical recycling systems that turn textile waste into reusable fibres, operating alongside opening and cleaning lines for industrial-scale use.
• Borsoi, Hall 6 — fibre and yarn recycling systems for both pre-consumer and post-consumer streams.
• Saentis Textiles, Hall 3 — a mechanical route for cotton garment waste processed dry and without chemicals, designed to preserve fibre quality and embed traceability via indestructible digital IDs.

AI-powered sorting and clean feedstock

• Valvan, Hall 2 — sorting and de-trimming systems built to remove zippers, buttons, and labels from fibre-sorted materials, improving feedstock purity for recycling.

Spinning premium yarn from waste textiles

• Marzoli, Hall 3 — spinning built to handle recycled fibres and support high-quality yarn from mechanically processed textiles; collaboration with Laroche and Rieter targets efficient recycled yarn manufacturing.
• Saurer Spinning, Hall 3 — high-efficiency rotor spinning for short, recycled fibres, with advanced piecing, self-cleaning yarn guides, and simultaneous start-up of 60 positions to raise productivity.
• Mesdan, a Vandewiele company, Hall 4 — compact shredding and spinning lines to test blends with mechanically recycled fibres and set preparation parameters before full-scale runs.

Supporting circularity across synthetics, waste handling, and energy

• Daesung Machinery, Hall 2 — re-granulating equipment that converts synthetic industrial waste into reusable feedstock.
• Gneuss, Hall 4 — PET recycling solutions that transform post-consumer plastic waste into fibres for polyester applications.
• Steinemann CVS, Hall 4 — accessories for waste handling and filtration to improve reliability.
• Wieland, Hall 4 — waste management systems to reduce production losses and optimise material flow for closed-loop operations.
• Brueckner, Hall 7 — stenter and finishing technologies with heat recovery and air-pollution control to cut energy use and emissions.

From feedstock purity and fibre recovery to recycled-fibre spinning, the show brings the full loop together on one floor. If textile-to-textile recycling is on your roadmap for 2025, this is where you can compare systems side by side and plan your next move.
