Reju has opened its first U.S. Research & Development Center in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, marking the company's first dedicated research facility in North America. Located within Technip Energies' Advanced Materials and Catalysts' existing research center, the lab will accelerate deployment of Reju's recycling technologies and develop next-generation circular solutions. The center relocates Reju's core research team from IBM's Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California, where its Volcat depolymerization technology was first developed. The facility will span polyester recycling, mixed-fabric solutions, and new circular chemistry pathways, supporting technologies intended for deployment across Reju's future Regeneration Hubs. This R&D Center is part of Reju's broader strategy to build a closed-loop recycling ecosystem, joining its first textile-to-textile facility Regeneration Hub Zero in Frankfurt, Germany, and future hubs announced in Sittard, Netherlands; Lacq, France; and Rochester, New York.
Technip Energies BVReju's R&D center is located within Technip Energies' existing research center, indicating collaboration and potential technology synergies.
