Textile recycling, Igers inaugurates an 8 million euro plant

Igers, a company from Trezzano sul Naviglio, Milan, has opened a textile waste recycling plant in San Pietro Mosezzo, Novara, with an annual capacity of 19,000 tonnes. The plant features a fully integrated and automated system with 56 machines and uses blockchain technology to track operations. The facility can recover over 96% of the input material, which is then used to produce non-woven materials, fabrics for clothing and furniture, and other industrial applications.

The project, which cost around 8 million euros, was co-financed with 1.3 million euros from the PNRR. The plant was inaugurated in the presence of Environment Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin.
