We were pleased to welcome the Textile Engineering and Materials (TEAM) group from De Montfort University back to Roberts Recycling Ltd HQ.
During the visit, our Director, Paul Roberts, shared the latest updates from across the business and provided a tour of our facility, offering insight into our operations and ongoing development.

Led by Professor Jinsong Shen, TEAM are at the forefront of textile innovation. Their work continues to play an important role in shaping the future of textile recycling, particularly through advancements in fibre separation and material recovery.
Our continued collaboration focuses on one of the industry’s key challenges: how to scale enzyme-based recycling technologies into practical, real-world applications.
By bridging research and operational expertise, we are working towards solutions that can be implemented at scale and deliver meaningful environmental impact.
Partnerships like this are vital in driving innovation forward and supporting the transition towards a more circular textile industry.
