STOCKHOLM, SE / ACCESSWIRE / October 19, 2021 / Re:NewCell AB (publ) (FRA:6QP) (STO:RENEW) Today, Renewcell and Kelheim Fibres Gmbh have signed a Letter of Intent for a long term commercial collaboration to add the crucial missing link for a circular economy for textiles in Europe. Together, the two technology leaders will collaborate on developing commercial scale production of superior quality viscose fibers from up to 10 000 tonnes of Renewcell's 100% textile recycled material Circulose® annually. The collaboration paves the way toward a fully European closed loop in which textile waste is collected, recycled and regenerated into new Circulose® fibers for people that want to reduce their fashion footprint significantly.
"European fashion consumption has great impact on climate and the environment globally. It also contributes to tremendous amounts of waste going into landfill and incinerators either in Europe or abroad after export. We will now work with Kelheim to prevent waste and reduce the need for virgin resources, while also enabling a fully regional supply of low impact circular fibers for textiles" comments Patrik Lundström, CEO of Renewcell. "We are thrilled for the opportunity to work closely with a partner like Kelheim, who is at the leading edge of innovation and sustainability in this industry" he adds.
Craig Barker, CEO at Kelheim Fibres adds: "We see an excellent fit between our two companies, not only on the technical side - with Renewcell we have found a highly professional partner who shares our vision for future-forward technologies that enable full circularity in the textile chain. Finding the answers to the challenges of our times is what drives us every day.
Our recycled cellulose fibre solution - made of Renewcell's Circulose® and manufactured using environmentally sound processes at our Kelheim plant - is an answer to the fashion industries need for sustainable, resource- and waste-reducing solutions, and a more regional and reliable supply chain."

SmartVendor Brings Autonomous Retail to the Czech Parliament; Clears Europe's Toughest Privacy Bar with SHEKEL WeightAI(TM)23.9.2026 11:20:00 CEST | Press release
PRAGUE, CZ / ACCESS Newswire / September 23, 2026 / SmartVendor today announced the deployment of an autonomous, AI-powered retail solution inside the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, built on the WeightAI™ platform from SHEKEL Scales Ltd., the weight-based AI technology and solution provider behind the next generation of autonomous retail.

The Czech Parliament resolved that contradiction by choosing a solution built on WeightAI™. No cameras. No biometrics. No personal data captured at the point of purchase. Full GDPR compliance by design. The installation, deployed by SmartVendor on the Innovendi Elite platform, marks one of the first deployments of an autonomous AI-powered retail solution inside a major state institution in the Czech Republic.
