General Recycled® (GR) has announced that its patented aramid recycling technology played a pivotal role in the development of Monterey Textiles’ new Eco-Fyre® fabric, which was honored with the Innovation Award for Sustainability at the 2025 Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors (NAUMD) annual conference.
“Monterey’s success with Eco-Fyre underscores the value and potential of our patented recycling process,” says Ted Parker, president of General Recycled. “Partnering with Monterey and Filspec to bring this sustainable solution to market has been incredibly rewarding. This recognition highlights the growing industry demand for circular, closed-loop innovations in flame-resistant textiles.”
Eco-Fyre is a recycled aramid fabric engineered for demanding applications in the oil and gas industry. Enabled by GR’s proprietary recycling process, the fabric is created by transforming end-of-life aramid garments into high-quality recycled fiber, yarn and certified flame-resistant fabric.
“We’re proud to welcome Eco-Fyre into our expanding portfolio of recycled aramid products,” says Dave Kasper, vice president of sales and product development at General Recycled. “The teams at Monterey Textiles and Filspec, led by Randy Williams, have done outstanding work bringing another product to market!”
