Two short films spotlight Reju’s polyester regeneration technology and collaboration with Goodwill Industries as part of a branded content series.

PARIS, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Reju, the textile-to-textile regeneration leader, appears in Fashion Redressed, a branded content series presented by Global Fashion Agenda and produced for the GFA by BBC StoryWorks Commercial Productions, showcasing more sustainable innovation to a global audience. The series premiered worldwide on April 30 on a BBC.com microsite.

Reju was selected to be part of the series and is featured in two short films exploring the company’s work toward addressing one of fashion’s most pressing challenges, textile waste. The films highlight both the scale of the issue and the collaborative solutions required to build a more circular textile system.

“Textile waste is one of the fashion industry’s most urgent challenges, and solving it requires innovation, infrastructure and collaboration across the value chain,” said Patrik Frisk, CEO of Reju. “We are proud to be featured in this series and to highlight the coordinated effort across technology, infrastructure, and partnerships required to make circularity possible.”

The first film examines the scale and complexity of textile waste, providing insight into polyester as a material and the technology behind Reju’s proprietary regeneration process. The second focuses on partnership collaboration, featuring the alliance between Reju and Goodwill Industries underscoring the importance of synergy across collection, sorting, preparation and regeneration. The film shows what is required to build a circular textile system.

“Goodwill has long been at the forefront of identifying the most effective reuse pathways for secondhand textiles,” said Steve Preston, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International. “As global textile production continues to rise, the Fashion Redressed series highlights how technology, infrastructure, and collaboration are advancing circularity—creating community value while reducing waste. Goodwill’s partnership with Reju, featured in one of the films, reflects our shared commitment to building practical, real‑world solutions for textile recovery and reuse”.

The series reflects growing momentum around scalable, systems-level solutions for textile circularity. Through its regeneration technology and ecosystem partnerships, Reju is working to address a critical gap in textile circularity by enabling the collection, sorting, preparation and regeneration of polyester-rich textile waste at industrial scale.
