Nouvelles Fibre Textiles

What Nouvelles Fibre Textiles does

Nouvelles Fibres Textiles (NFT) is a France-based private company that operates a pilot production line for sorting post-consumer and post-industrial textile waste and converting it into recycled industrial-grade fiber. The company runs automated sorting using Pellenc ST technology — sorting by fiber color and composition (polyester, cotton, polycotton, polyamide) and removing hard points such as buttons and zippers — combined with Andritz mechanical tearing lines that shred material into reusable fiber streams. Outputs include cellulosic and synthetic fibers sold in mixed or monochrome form, targeted at textile, non-woven, and composite material manufacturers.

The business operates on a B2B sales-led motion. Revenue is generated through two streams: (1) physical sales of recycled fiber to manufacturers, and (2) R&D and ecodesign services in which engineers and project managers guide customers through remanufacturing projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagement is initiated via a website contact form. The customer base disclosed is anchored by one flagship enterprise reference — SNCF — for whom NFT transforms retired professional uniforms into secondary raw materials. Additional ecosystem partners include Les Tissages de Charlieu (downstream weaver), Synergies TLC (upstream textile collector/sorter), and the two technology OEMs Pellenc ST and Andritz.

The company is registered in France (SIRET 829 253 855 00011) with operational facilities in Amplepuis and a registered address in Charlieu. No funding rounds, revenue figures, headcount, management team details, patents, or certifications are disclosed in available sources, which materially limits visibility into financial scale and corporate maturity.

Core offering

Nouvelles Fibres Textiles operates a pilot production line in Amplepuis, France that combines Pellenc ST's automated sorting technologies with Andritz tearing lines to process post-consumer and post-industrial textile waste. The company sorts worn garments automatically by fiber color and composition, removes hard points (buttons, zippers, reinforced areas), and converts the materials into industrial-grade recycled cellulosic and synthetic fibers (polyester, cotton, polycotton, polyamide). It sells these recycled fibers to textile, non-woven, and composite material manufacturers and provides R&D and ecodesign support for industrial circularity projects.

Product overview

Nouvelles Fibre Textiles operates as a textile recycling service provider with a pilot production line that combines Pellenc ST's automated sorting technologies with Andritz tearing lines. The company offers three interconnected services: post-consumer textile sorting (sorting by fiber color and composition while removing hard points), recycled fiber production (converting textile waste into industrial-grade synthetic and cellulosic fibers), and R&D/ecodesign support for circularity projects. Located in Amplepuis, France, the company serves textile collectors, manufacturers, and brands seeking to transform post-consumer garments into secondary raw materials.

Direct peers

• Renewcell: Swedish textile-to-textile recycler producing Circulose® recycled dissolving pulp from post-consumer cotton-rich textiles; most direct comparable in the European recycled-cellulosic-feedstock space that NFT targets.
• Infinited Fiber Company: Finnish regenerated-fiber producer (Infinna™) making cotton-like fibers from textile waste; directly comparable to NFT's recycled fiber output for textile and nonwoven manufacturers.
• Re&Up (Aquafil): Aquafil's circular nylon (ECONYL®) initiative producing regenerated nylon from post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste; comparable in recycling-and-reselling-regenerated-fiber model and European base.
• Worn Again Technologies: UK-based chemical recycler separating and recovering polyester and cotton from post-consumer textiles; comparable business model of selling recycled feedstock to apparel and nonwoven manufacturers.
• Recover Brands / Recover Textile System: Spanish/Indian recycled cotton fiber producer taking textile waste and converting it into recycled cotton fiber for apparel use; direct competitor in the recycled-cellulosic-feedstock segment.

Others

• Pellenc ST: OEM supplier of intelligent automated sorting equipment used in NFT's pilot line; broader-incumbent technology enabler rather than a competing recycler.
• Les Tissages de Charlieu: French weaver and strategic partner that converts NFT's recycled fibers into woven textiles; complementary downstream player in the same French circular-textile ecosystem.
• Andritz: Industrial supplier of textile fiber preparation and recycling lines (including the tearing lines installed at NFT's pilot); broader-incumbent supplier of mechanical recycling equipment rather than a direct textile-recycling competitor.

Emerging players

• Circ: US-based textile recycler using hydrothermal processes to recover cellulose and polyester from polycotton waste; emerging direct competitor in recycled fiber feedstock for apparel and home textiles.
• Synergies TLC: French/European textile-waste collector and manual sorter that is one of NFT's core partners; operates the upstream collection/presort step of the same circular value chain.
