Bangladesh as a major manufacturing country for fast fashion products has been going through environmental risks over the decades. Garment factories here producing for top fast fashion brands are also creating a lot of solid waste putting enormous pressure on the ground.

Simultaneously, many factories are come up with sustainable best practices in closing the supply loop to reduce the amount of textile waste. We are one of the pioneers in producing fiber using recycling technology from cutting waste.

Apparel manufacturers can save 10% in FOB cost as the textile with recycled yarn does not need any dying, thus making it economically viable. In some types of apparel products like sweaters, it can save up to 30%.

For the current world, the most important thing is environmental sustainability. In this regard, many studies done by renowned international organizations showed that this type of textile with recycled yarn is the most sustainable for the environment compared to recycled polyester or organic cotton. In terms of consumption of water – it saves 200 to 300 liters of per kg in dying- not to mention the energy also consumed during the dyeing process.
