The Executive Committee of the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) Textile Division has appointed Martin Böschen, CEO of the TEXAID Group, as its new President.

The BIR global recycling industry association represents around 800 companies and 35 affiliated national recycling federations from around 70 countries. The federation provides a dynamic forum for its members to share their knowledge and experience and a platform to promote successful business relationships.
As Head of the Textile Division, Martin Böschen is automatically a member of the BIR Executive Committee and at the same time BIR Vice-President. The appointment still has to be formally confirmed by the BIR delegates at the Division’s next plenary meeting in Singapore in May.
