Filatex India's Subsidiary, Texfil, Signs MoU with Decathlon to Use High-Quality Recycled Polyester in Sports Apparel

Texfil Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Filatex India Limited, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Indeca Sporting Goods Pvt. Ltd., an entity of Decathlon Group, France. The MoU aims to work together on the use of high-quality recycled polyester in sports apparel. Texfil has developed an in-house chemical recycling process based on glycolysis that preserves the quality of polyester. The commercial facility with a capacity of 26,750 MTPA is expected to be commissioned in September 2026. Decathlon will conduct structured trials of Ecosis™ recycled polyester chips and yarn with its network of manufacturing partners in India. The two companies will also explore a system to channel suitable pre- and post-consumer polyester textile waste from Decathlon sports India’s sourcing ecosystem back to Texfil for recycling.
