With a capacity of up to 800 kg of fiber per hour, the line gives a second life to large volumes of manufacturing waste, allowing the company to supply the spinning industry with high-quality sustainable fibers. The yarn produced from these fibers is used by Pacific Jeans to manufacture new jeans, fostering circularity in its production process.

Compared to virgin cotton, the use of recycled fibers significantly reduces the carbon footprint and lowers costs in clothing production.

Founded in Bangladesh in 1984, Pacific Jeans Group is a global leader in the production of sustainable premium jeans. The group is committed to driving positive change through innovation, circularity, and sustainability to achieve net-zero climate impact.
