On March 31, Swedish textile impact company Syre announced that the company signed an MoU with ABB to jointly explore technologies to support the development of Syre\u2019s first textile-to-textile recycling plant in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

\t \t\t \t\t\t\"Syre \t\t \t <\/p>\n

The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration to investigate how ABB\u2019s automation, electrification and digital technologies could contribute to safe, efficient and scalable operations. It will also explore how these capabilities could optimise process and quality control performance as Syre<\/a> advances its ambition to produce circular polyester at industrial scale.<\/p>\n

The proposed plant in the Gia Lai province is intended to recycle polyester from used textiles and industrial waste into new recycled polyester material. Polyester is one of the world\u2019s most widely used fibres and is traditionally produced from fossil-based sources. Recycling polyester helps reduce reliance on virgin fossil inputs, lowers climate impact and keeps valuable materials in circulation, supporting the transition towards a more circular textile industry.<\/p>\n

Under the MoU, the two companies will assess how ABB\u2019s technologies \u2013 including its distributed control systems, digital industrial software and electrification portfolio \u2013 could be adapted to meet the specific requirements of polyester textile-to-textile recycling. Activities are expected to run in parallel with the detailed engineering phase of Syre\u2019s first plant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis agreement reflects ABB\u2019s role in supporting emerging industrial applications where automation and electrification can enable greater resource efficiency,\u201d said Wilson Monteiro, global business line manager for Pulp, Paper and Fibre in ABB\u2019s Process Industries division.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with Syre, we will explore how our experience in fibre processing, chemicals and advanced process industries can be applied to polyester recycling. We\u2019re excited to discover what\u2019s possible as we embark on this new technological collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we now move into full industrial deployment, partnerships like this become critical,\u201d said Dennis Nobelius, CEO of Syre.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndustrialising textile-to-textile recycling is a complex undertaking, and while strong customer demand is essential, it must be matched with best-in-class industrial partners. ABB brings exactly the depth of expertise and execution capability needed; they are a cornerstone of the industrial ecosystem we are building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since its public launch two years ago, Syre has rapidly built its technological foundation, establishing a research and development facility and pilot production line in Mebane, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

In 2025, the company accelerated to multi-ton production of circular PET chips, demonstrating the viability of its textile-to-textile recycling process. Syre is now focused on advancing plans for its first large-scale production facility in Vietnam, with construction targeted to commence in 2027.<\/p>\n

While exploratory in nature, the partnership signals ABB\u2019s dedication to advancing the next generation of fibre-based industries. As circular materials move from ambition to industrial reality, ABB continues to apply its automation, electrification and digital expertise to enable efficient, scalable production.<\/p>\n

\t \t\t \t\t\t\"Vietnam <\/a> \t\t\tVietnam poised to lead in circular textiles with Syre<\/a> \t\t\t<\/p>\n

Swedish firm Syre is setting its sights on Vietnam, aiming to establish the world\u2019s first high-tech circular textile hub in the country.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t \t\t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t\"Binh <\/a> \t\t\tBinh Dinh grants investment licence to SYRE’s 1 billion USD polyester recycling project<\/a> \t\t\t<\/p>\n

The project will be located in Nhon Hoi Industrial Park (Zone A), spanning nearly 29 hectares. Once operational by 2029, the complex is expected to produce between 100,000 and 250,000 tonnes of PET pellets a year.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t \t\t \t \t \t\t \t\t\t\"Syre <\/a> \t\t\tSyre and Nike to launch ‘gigascale’ textile recycling plant<\/a> \t\t\t<\/p>\n

Swedish textile recycling company Syre is moving ahead with plans for its first large-scale textile-to-textile recycling plant in Vietnam.<\/p>\n
