Advantages and innovations
  • During production process it is accumualted production waste
  • loose small fraction fibres, cuttings of knitted high pile fabrics with coatied backings, not coated backings and etc. Company is focusing on waste utilisation solutions, trying to minimise utilisation in burning plant. We strongly believe that one of possibilities is to re-use it as foundation insulation blocks for construction, pipe lines, insulating materials for partitions or slabs. Company accumulates about 50-60 tons of environmental friendly textile waste a year. Looking for partners to create reprocessing technology and presenting of up-cycled products to potential customers in potential users.
