American Spinning Company Receives First Global Recycling Certification

FildiUSA, a manufacturer of recycled cotton yarn in North America, announced that the company's recycled cotton blended yarn, ECOTEC, has received a certificate issued by the Global Recovery Standards (GRS) Control Alliance.

Global environmental standards certify the recycling composition, sustainable development and social responsibility of a yarn in the production process. Fildi is the first yarn company in the United States to be recognized by a prestigious organization.

Steven Usdan, president of FildiUSA, said they are proud of the highest standards in the company's products and processes. With this important certification, they can assure consumers that when consumers use ECOTEC yarns, they will have an impact on the world in which they live. So far, environmentally-conscious companies such as Whole Foods and Rachel Roy have used ECOTEC yarns to produce textiles.

ECOTEC recycles cotton blended yarns using new, ready-to-use consumer cotton textile waste. If these materials are not used, they will be sent to landfills. Fildi collects these pieces from the cuts, sorts them by color, reprocesses them, mixes them, and spins them into yarn.

This eliminates waste from landfills. In addition, since cotton fabrics have been dyed, ECOTEC yarns do not require dyeing. Therefore, water is saved and environmental pollution is reduced. Reusing pieces of cotton also helps save land, water and pesticides because land, water and pesticides are needed in the process of growing new cotton.

Ustar said that this high-quality ECOTEC recycled cotton blend has been produced at Fildi for more than a decade. So far, the many advantages of this recycled yarn have attracted consumers and producers. Therefore, ECOTEC yarns will be more welcomed by the market with high quality, economical cost and even the only GRS certificate.

ECOTEC yarns include full-size stock, full color, yarn count, and blend ratio. In addition, the company also stated that this kind of recycled yarn is the best choice when producing bright, durable knitted and woven fabrics for the production of clothing, home textiles and many other products.

In addition to obtaining GRS certificates, ECOTEC yarns have passed the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, which means that they do not contain more than 100 substances that are harmful to human health.
