Blocktexx textile recycling facility

Project Description

Project scope

Wiley specialists worked collaboratively with BlockTexx and QUT, developing designs, complex technical solutions and budgets for this innovative project. Wiley assisted BlockTexx to develop their concept plans and production process from a small-scale operation into a purpose-built, commercial scale recycling facility.

Business value to client

BlockTexx anticipates the Logan facility will recycle around 4,000t of textiles, create up to 30 new full-time jobs and up to $43M economic impact to the local area in the first year of operation.
Working closely with Wiley in the early stages of the project, BlockTexx were confident Wiley’s processing and industrial manufacturing experience translated seamlessly to their process.

Wiley Engineers provided BlockTexx with valuable insights to develop process trials to commercial scale; the foundations for capital raising, while ensuring risks management and value for money at every stage of the project. The textile recovery facility is world leading, combining chemical separation processes and advanced manufacturing. On completion, this pilot operation will set the standard for future proposed facilities.
