BLUE CAST Ep 503 - Rematters with Romain Narcy


This BLUE CAST Episode, Tuncay Kilickan talks with Romain Narcy Founder at Rematters - Textile Recycling Solutions // Partner at Ereks Garment | Innovation & Circularity in Textile



Romain Narcy is a distinguished individual, renowned for his exceptional background in International Business Management. With extensive experience and knowledge of denim production at all stages gained during his tenure as Marketing Manager at EREKS - Blue Matters, Romain quickly rose through the ranks to become General Manager & Board Member before being appointed Head of Innovation & Strategy three years ago.

In 2020, Romain played an instrumental role in redefining Ereks' strategy towards becoming a Circular Company by 2030 – proof that he not only talks about circularity and textile recycling but also actively translates these ideas into action. His international exposure within the textile industry coupled with deep understanding of supply chain dynamics make him uniquely positioned to be one of tomorrow's visionaries for textiles.
Apart from steering Ereks on its path toward sustainability excellence, Romain serves on various committees such as Denim Deal (The Netherlands + International) or Transformers Foundation Educational committee (USA). He actively participates in other working groups focusing on Circularity at ISO Istanbul Chamber Of Industry (ISO), Turkish Manufacturers Apparel Association (TGSD), Turkish Textile Exporters Association (ITHIB).

Romain's passion for sustainable practices is truly remarkable. He has been a regular speaker at various events around the world, including ConservationXLabs/Textile Circularity Challenge brainstorming workshop in New York City and Munich Fabric Fair BlueZone/Newtopia reconstructing jeans panel discussion - Munich 7/23. Romain Narcy is working towards creating a greener tomorrow!
