Touchpoint's daughter company Rester will start processing Lindström’s workwear clothes, restaurant textiles, and possibly also cotton towel rolls for industrial reuse at the Paimio processing plant in Finland in early 2021. The annual amount of waste textile processed through Rester will be about 500 tons per year, of which 4/5 consists of workwear.

In the MasterChef 2020 season, which started on MTV3 in September 2020, the chef candidates will be tested in various ways. While the atmosphere in the kitchen may occasionally heat up, competitors will be able to prepare delicious main courses and mouth-watering desserts in the practical and fitted aprons provided by Touchpoint.

The Nordic countries’ first industrial end-of-life textile refinement plant will open in Paimio in 2021. Rester Oy, which is developing the plant in Paimio, recycles companies' end-of-life textiles, and Lounais-Suomen Jätehuolto Oy (LSJH), which will hire a production area at the same facility, processes households' end-of-life textiles. The plant will process 12,000 tonnes of end-of-life textiles every year, which represents about 10% of Finland’s textile waste.

The year 2020 has changed the world view of all of us, with impacts that are probably going further than we initially realized. The overriding concern has been the effects of the pandemic crisis to peoples' health and safety. The time before the Corona crisis seems distant although there are only few months with anxiety behind us. Even today, Touchpoint is looking ahead from Corona, to a sustainable tomorrow.

Our healthcare sector is at the forefront of fighting against the devil. The crisis is by no means beat yet and it will surely take a lot of time before our daily life is going in phase with the “new normal”.

Touchpoint broadens its horizons by acquiring Tampere-based workwear company Domino Workwear Oy. With complementary strengths, the companies can significantly bolster their capabilities. From the beginning, Touchpoint has focused on promoting sustainability.
