Austria’s Andritz is set to supply textile recycling equipment to Renewcell’s green-field recycling plant in Sundsvall, Sweden. The start-up of the plant is scheduled for the first half of 2022. The Andritz plant range offers recycling solutions for different applications like household, organic and wood waste, paper and pulp industry, and so on.

Core elements of the new recycling system will be Andritz ADuro shredders, which will shred used textiles in only one shredding step. With unique capabilities, the ADuro shredders cut the incoming material uniformly and cleanly while enabling a very high throughput. In the subsequent separation stages, contaminants like buttons and zippers will be removed from the shredded textiles. Renewcell uses this pre-treated material to produce a pure, natural dissolving pulp made from 100 per cent recycled textiles, Andritz said in a press release.

In addition, the scope of supply includes additional key pieces of equipment. With the state-of-the-art equipment from Andritz, up to 60,000 tons of used textiles per year can be handled in the new recycling plant. Since 2016 Renewcell has cooperated with Andritz to develop its process in its test plant in Kristinehamn, Sweden, convincing the company of the high performance and quality of Andritz technology in processing challenging materials such as textiles.

Renewcell, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, was founded in 2012 and is specialised in the recycling of textiles. The recycling technology employed by Renewcell dissolves used cotton and other cellulose fibres and transforms them into a new raw material, the so called Circulose pulp, which is further used to make biodegradable virgin quality viscose or lyocell textile fibres for the fashion industry.
