Part 4/7:
The premise behind Ritex is straightforward yet ambitious: it intends to recycle leftover and unwanted clothing into new fibers suitable for a variety of products, which can include pillows, insulation materials, and even mattresses. With plans to establish what could become the largest recycled textile manufacturing plant in South America, Ritex is laying the groundwork to not just manage textile waste but to repurpose it effectively. They hope to begin operations by April, turning discarded garments into useful commodities.
