From waste to value: State-of-the-art TRUECYCLED installations in India

Demand for recycled yarn is growing. And the number of TRUECYCLED installations in India is growing too! More and more future-facing companies are driving progress toward a more sustainable textiles industry by producing high-quality yarn from waste – through specialized equipment and process know-how from Trützschler.

TRUECYCLED is Trützschler’s complete solution for state-of-the-art recycling of pre-consumer and post-consumer textile waste. It encompasses all process steps – from cutting and tearing textile waste through to carding and drawing secondary fibers. Last but not least, Trützschler’s technological expertise enables partner companies to produce recycled yarns with the best possible quality from hard textile waste. In India, USHA YARN was awarded as the first TRUECYCLED reference customer in 2023. Now we celebrated ten more reference customers. This big milestone demonstrates that TRUECYCLED is gaining traction in India, where demand for recycled yarn is growing rapidly.

A community of committed companies

Our TRUECYCLED pioneers in India are taking action to promote more sustainable, circular value chains in the textile industry. Their yarns contain a substantial amount of textile hard waste, manufactured in a line of Trützschler machinery configured specifically for recycling. For example, all use the T-BLEND blow room line and Trützschler carding machines. This setup is the prerequisite for their market success. Aravind Prabhu, Joint Managing Director of Sri Velayudhaswami Spinning Mills, says: “By using Trützschler’s innovative T-Blend system for recycling, we are able to meet high expectations for export quality.”
