RE&UP Accelerates Circular Textiles at Global Industry Events
In a defining week for sustainable fashion, RE&UP, a trailblazer in recycled polycotton solutions, took center stage at two premier international forums: the Global Fashion Summit in Copenhagen and the Textiles Recycling Expo in Brussels. Uniting innovation with impact, the company brought forward critical insights on next-gen materials, textile recycling, and the infrastructure required to scale circularity. At the Global Fashion Summit, Andreas Dorner, General Manager at RE&UP, contributed to the Fibre Futures panel on the Ignite Stage, sharing deep insights into polycotton innovation. 'When it comes to polycotton, RE&UP is the go-to solution provider,' Dorner stated, reinforcing the company's expertise in tackling one of the industry's most complex blended fabrics. Meanwhile, Ebru Özküçük Guler, Chief Sustainability Officer, moderated a high-impact session titled What is Next-Gen?, featuring speakers from the European Environment Agency and Fashion for Good. 'The shift to next-gen materials isn't just about innovation,' she emphasized, 'it's about building the systems to scale them responsibly.' In Brussels, at the Textiles Recycling Expo, RE&UP's Marco Lucietti, Head of Global Marketing and Communications, joined a panel discussion on Scaling Recycled Content: Turning Ambition into Industry Reality. His insights tackled the need for robust infrastructure, policy alignment, and investment to turn promises into performance. 'The energy was high and the message was clear: it's time to turn circularity from a commitment into a capability,' Lucietti shared. Across both events, RE&UP's message resonated strongly: innovation without scalability and accountability is not enough. From pioneering recycled polycotton applications to shaping circular infrastructure, RE&UP continues to turn bold ideas into transformative action. As textile sustainability accelerates into a new era, RE&UP remains committed to pushing boundaries, sparking dialogue, and delivering solutions that turn theory into impact.

More hospitals are treating patients at home to reduce overcrowding. Here's how it works.
For James Edwards, a 57-year-old patient with congestive heart failure, recovering at home from shortness of breath rather than in a hospital setting was a welcome option. Nurses come to check on him twice a day and monitoring equipment would notify the hospital about any change in vitals. The house calls are part of a mobile medical program that's growing nationally, with Medicare, Medicaid and some private insurance carriers offering coverage for the service. There are more than 380 approved hospital-at-home programs in 39 states, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. In overcrowded hospitals, the programs can help free up needed beds — a persistent issue in facilities such as Mass General Brigham. Last year, nearly 3,000 patients were treated in the voluntary program. "The whole idea of home hospital is that you're making the patient the center of care," said Dr. Stephen Dorner, the chief clinical and innovation officer for the Healthcare at Home program at the Boston-area hospital. Patients who participate in the programs also have better outcomes, Dorner said, like lower 30-day readmissions, lower rates of complications and even lower rates of mortality. Being in a familiar setting can help speed up healing, according to Dr. Lauren Doctoroff, a physician at Mass General Brigham's program. "If you feel more comfortable and are less anxious and are sleeping better, you're going to recover faster and better," Doctoroff said. Critics such as National Nurses United, America's largest union for registered nurses, have raised concerns about continuity and quality of care, along with cost. But if Congress can't agree on a spending bill and lets Medicare and Medicaid payments for the program lapse, Dorner says patient care could suffer. "It's a critical part of the answer to overcrowding," Dorner said. "We would much rather meet patients where they are in the homes than in the hallways of our Emergency Department. We know that it's not the best way to receive care." Edwards spent eight days recovering at home rather than in a hospital bed and he believes he got the best of both worlds. "I have my dog here. I have my friends and I have the nursing staff that comes over to see me," Edwards said.
