REIMAGINING TEXTILE RECYCLING IN NEW ZEALAND
BlockTexx jumped across the ditch this month to New Zealand to meet our existing clients and to welcome new partners.
Many governments around the world are mobilising their industry players and local communities to address the flow of unwanted textiles and clothing ending up in landfill.
BlockTexx adds a reality to this undertaking with a commercial scale textile resource recovery solution.
PRODUCT UPDATE
A quick product update ahead of future product announcements. Our product development and sales are focussed across 4 key industries - Agricultural, building & construction, textile and fibre and product & injection moulding.
It’s been a busy month with product development in Australia and across the world. We are delighted to be working with some of the world’s leading companies on new market products and importantly incorporating PolyTexx? and CellTexx? to replace existing fossil fuel based materials.
Plus back in our textile recovery facility, we are commissioning new equipment to ensure we deliver commercial scale quality and volumes for our customers.
