Regatta reveals new textile-to-textile circular clothing range


R


egatta Professional has hit shelves with its newest textile-to-textile circular


clothing range.


The Recycle.me range is made up of five garments, including a thermal jacket, bodywarmer, softshell, fleece, and polo. Launched in May, the company first teased the range at Printwear & Promotion LIVE! in February.


Regatta has partnered with The Circular Textile Foundation and Project Re:claim to unveil this new range made using 100% polyester mono-fibre fabric. In 2021, around 711,000 tonnes of used textiles were discarded in the household bin and in general waste containers at Household Waste Recycling Centres. The collection supports the return of materials back into the supply chain, extending product life and maximising long-term value.


This means that they can be recycled through Project Re:claim – the joint


venture between SATCoL and corporate wear specialists Project Plan B. Project Re:claim is the UK’s first polyester mechanical recycler designed for fibre to fibre recycling.


Anthony Haber, managing director of Regatta Professional, said: “As a business, we’ve dedicated time and resources to ensure Recycle.me is a lifelong success and a model for the industry in working to reduce waste and return useful materials into the supply chain.

increased by around 12%, driven by higher utilisation across Kornit’s installed base and continued demand for digital textile production.


Ronen Samuel, Chief Executive Officer of Kornit Digital, said: “The first quarter marked a strong start to the year and clear evidence that our strategy is translating into execution and measurable results. “We delivered revenue at the top end of our guidance range and generated positive operating cash flow for the tenth consecutive quarter.”


The company highlighted strong customer response to its Atlas MATRIX platform, which Kornit said is helping expand digital production into larger-scale manufacturing environments, particularly in polyester, sportswear and performance applications. Interest in workflow automation and connected production solutions also increased following the company’s acquisition of PrintFactory. Looking ahead, Kornit expects second-quarter revenues to reach between $51m and $55m.
