In other news, A Penteadora SA has successfully started up a complete mechanical textile recycling line and a needlepunch nonwoven line supplied by Andritz at its production site in Unhais da Serra, Portugal. This investment enables A Penteadora to expand its industrial capabilities and develop a new generation of solutions based on pre- and post-consumer recycled textiles. The input materials originate from its own production waste and other textile waste streams. Both lines are fully operational, and the first products are expected to reach the market in July.
