LONDON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On 15th January, 2025, The Land of Legends will open its doors to its newest attractions: Türkiye’s first Nickelodeon Land, and first and only Nickelodeon Hotels and Resorts in the country.

The first Nickelodeon development in Türkiye marks a significant step forward for the Turkish tourism industry and The Land of Legends. The brand’s global significance means the new opening – earmarked for January 2025 – is a key project and investment for Türkiye. The collaboration between The Land of Legends and Paramount Global’s Nickelodeon, one of the world’s biggest entertainment brands, reflects the growth of the Turkish hospitality and entertainment industry.

NEW for 2025 – The Land of Legends Nickelodeon Land and Nickelodeon Hotel & Resorts Antalya
Opening 15th January 2025, Nickelodeon Land consists of three unique areas – the underwater Bikini Bottom from SpongeBob SquarePants, intergalactic Star Trek: Wild Galaxy, based on Star Trek: Prodigy, and the open-air Adventure Bay PAW Patrol. Across the new development, guests will experience thrilling experiences, from riding the giant Jellyfish Jam swing in Bikini Bottom, to experiencing an adventure through space in the Star Trek: Wild Galaxy 5D cinema and flying high in Skye’s Flyers helicopter-style ride.

At Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Antalya, each guest will live out their own legend and have the chance to expand and exercise their imagination with a range of interactive experiences with Nickelodeon friends, including the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dora. As soon as guests check in to the new Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort, they’ll be treated to a feast for all the senses. Bright colour schemes, innovative designs and kid-friendly facilities will ensure each member of the family feels at home.

The hotel rooms have been specially designed in one of five concept themes – DORA, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek – continuing the fun-filled family adventures.

Younger guests will be amazed with an array of experiences, from Character Dining to Club Nick, where kids can play, learn and develop with their new friends. The outdoor pool area features an Aqua Tower, Spray Area and in true Nickelodeon style, a chance to be Slimed. Away from the fun and frolics, parents can find the time to switch off at Anjana Spa, which will offer holistic therapies, massages and traditional Turkish Hammam or let off steam in the hotel’s fully-equipped gym with yoga and Pilates studios.

The vibrant park experience begins at the iconic Chateau in The Land of Legends Shopping Avenue, the centre of nightly entertainment, where guests will mingle with their favourite Nickelodeon characters and shop for special mementos to remind them of their magical trip, from plushies to clothes, mugs, keyrings, toys and accessories.

About The Land of Legends
Designed for families, friends or couples who love adventure, adrenaline-inducing rollercoasters and creating unforgettable moments, The Land of Legends is perfectly placed for an action-packed thrill-seeking adventure, whilst being close enough to the beachside resort of Belek with sister properties, Rixos Premium Belek and Rixos Park Belek, for a day relaxing by the ocean.

The Land of Legends Theme Park offers holidaymakers an exciting adventure, whatever their age. With highlights including one of the world’s longest water slides, Turtle Coaster, the 62-metre-high Hyper Coaster and the legendary WaterMania, this is an adventure-seeker’s paradise.

The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down as guests enjoy nightly evening entertainment, with musical boat parades, leisurely experiences at Marinart, a choice of innovative restaurants and over 170 international shops. Away from white knuckle rides and exciting amusements, the expansive resort also boasts a 401-room hotel, complete with an award-winning spa, Turkish bath, and swimming pool for guests to truly relax after a fun-filled day.

About Kingdom Hotel
Situated in the holiday hotspot of Belek on the Turkish Riviera, lies Türkiye’s first and only kids concept hotel, Kingdom Hotel, located in The Land of Legends. Families here are front of mind; all hotel rooms have been specially designed for younger guests, from the vibrant décor to the removal of sharp corners and views of the rollercoasters from each balcony. And the best part of staying at The Kingdom Hotel is the proximity to the theme park, which is just a short stroll away.

This is a hotel with kid’s entertainment a number one priority; from PlayStations in every room, a sweet bar in the lobby, dance machines, air hockey, and dedicated PlayStation zone with gaming pods where they can play with their newfound friends – kids will be mesmerised from the moment they walk through the door.

In the main restaurant, children will be able to dine next to their parents but at their own dedicated table, which is at the perfect kid-friendly height and can enjoy special themed breakfasts with some of their favourite characters. Plus, with the hotel group’s ALL-IN concept, parents needn’t worry about any extra or hidden costs.

Reju and Nouvelles Fibres Textiles Collaborate on Textile Waste Circular Ecosystem in France

Published

on

By

PARIS, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Reju™, the progressive textile-to-textile regeneration company, and Nouvelles Fibres Textiles (NFT), a French company specialising in the recovery of end-of-life textiles, today announced a collaboration on the sourcing and recycling of textile waste to support the building of a circular ecosystem in France. NFT will supply secondary raw materials derived from used or unused waste textiles to Reju for recycling and production of regenerated Reju Polyester™.

Reju and NFT will collaborate to expand the collection and processing infrastructure for apparel and textile wastes from post-consumer and post-industrial sources. The collaboration will also allow for an open supply chain and guarantee 100% traceability of recycled materials.

Reju is developing the infrastructure to take textile waste and regenerate it at scale, starting with polyester. The end product – Reju Polyester™ – is expected to have a 50% lower carbon footprint than virgin polyester and can be regenerated infinitely. Reju’s first demonstration plant – Regeneration Hub Zero – is now operational in Frankfurt, Germany, and will come on line to enable the production of Reju PET in 2025.

Materials supplied by NFT will be processed at Reju’s new Regeneration Hub Zero in Frankfurt, Germany and the future Reju Regeneration Hubs in Europe.

NFT and its partners opened a unique semi-industrial site and research center for textile recycling in November 2023. The pilot line is the first to combine Pellenc ST’s automated sorting technologies with Andritz’ tearing lines to process high volumes of post-industrial and post-consumer textile waste, eliminate hard points, and turn them into industrial grade fiber and raw material feedstock for new recycling technologies like Reju. NFT also provides secondary raw materials to various industries including non-wovens, insulation, composites, plastics, and other textiles.

Patrik Frisk, CEO of Reju: “Reju and Nouvelles Fibres Textiles are using innovation and collaboration to accelerate the transition to a circular textile ecosystem. This valuable partnership demonstrates our collective commitment to addressing the problem of textile waste and developing new ways to use the resources we have within local supply chains. With the collection of textile waste mandatory in the European Union starting in 2025*, it is imperative we have scalable systems and partnerships to process what is collected and keep it from landfills or incineration. Together, Reju and NFT are building the technology and infrastructure to regenerate and reuse materials across industries and change the way we use our resources.”

Eric Boël and Etienne Wiroth, Co-directors of Nouvelles Fibres Textiles: “After 6 years of research and collaborative work, Nouvelles Fibres Textiles is now ready to collaborate with professionals who need to recycle their textiles. We have an innovative turnkey solution that transforms heterogeneous end-of-life textile streams into high-quality homogeneous raw materials while ensuring their traceability. Our partnership with Reju paves the way for the permindustry: a circular, more local, less carbon-intensive, and more collaborative industry—essentially, an industry that does good!”

About Reju
Reju is a materials regeneration company focused on creating innovative solutions for recycling polyester textiles and PET waste. Owned by Technip Energies and utilizing technology originating with IBM research, Reju aims to establish a global textile recycling circular ecosystem to address PET plastic found in textiles. Learn more at https://www.reju.com/.

About NFT
Tissages de Charlieu Groupe and Synergies TLC have partnered to create Nouvelles Fibres Textiles: the first industrial infrastructure deploying ANDRITZ’s automated sorting and textile recycling solutions, incorporating sorting technologies from Pellenc ST. It is capable of automatically sorting clothing by composition and color and can also remove hard points and pre-fray garments. At the end of the line, Nouvelles Fibres Textiles produces a secondary raw material designed for industries that use textile fiber (e.g., shredding/spinning, non-wovens, composite materials, etc.). Together with our partners, ANDRITZ and Pellenc ST, and all our clients, we conduct real-world productions and applied industrial research to address the challenges of valorization and supply chain sustainability. Nouvelles Fibres Textiles is already laying the foundations for a second material preparation plant scheduled for 2026, which will have an annual capacity of 20 to 30 thousand tons of post-consumer textiles and will create around thirty direct jobs.

The creation of Nouvelles Fibres Textiles represents a major advance in reducing the carbon footprint of the textile sector. Automated sorting was the last missing piece of a French circular economy loop, paving the way for a complete ecosystem that brings together brands, social and solidarity economy actors, collectors-sorters, and industrial players from various sectors, all united to serve consumers seeking more traceability and meaning in their donations and purchases.
