ALTEX Textil-Recycling -
who we are

Recycling since 1936.

At ALTEX Textil-Recycling, we have been shaping a sustainable future for generations – the first foundation stone for our recycling was laid back in 1936 by the founder Bernhard Stienemann. We give textile waste a chance to be reused in a form that serves nature and a sustainable future. In order to recover valuable raw materials, we rely on an innovative, mechanical process in which textile waste is broken down into individual fibers using roller technology.
