re.solution is a deep-tech start-up and spin-off from RWTH Aachen, backed by leading German Deep Tech & Climate VCs. re.solution is developing an award-winning chemical recycling technology for polyester-containing textiles – with zero chemical salt waste, significantly lower use of chemicals and water, and less CO2 emissions compared to competitors. This makes it possible, for the first time, to scale up chemical polyester recycling in a cost-effective manner.

Our externally validated, virgin-quality monomers already attract significant commercial interest from large industrial players. We are currently commissioning our semi-industrial pilot plant – set to process over 1 tonne of textile waste per day – and preparing our first commercial facility. For this pivotal growth phase, we are looking for someone who wants to work directly with the Co-CEOs and contribute to the company's trajectory towards a European recycling champion serving the megatonnes of PET demand, while slashing global textile waste.
