PurFi Global, a textile rejuvenation technology company, and its joint venture partner, Arvind Ltd., an India-based textile manufacturer, announced plans to open a textile circularity facility in Gujarat, India.
The facility will launch operations with 3,500 metric tons (3,858 U.S. tons) and a secondary line of 5,500 metric tons (6,062 U.S. tons) of rejuvenated fiber capacity annually. The facility can also expand to 10 large production lines over the next three years to meet the growing demand from global brands and retailers.
“We are committed to enabling leading brands and retailers to provide their customers with the best combination of fashion, quality, price and sustainability,” says Joy Nunn, CEO of PurFi Global. “Our ability to meet global demand for virgin-like rejuvenated fibers is unparalleled and is made possible through decades of innovation and a robust intellectual property portfolio. We have proven experience in transforming textile waste through our manufacturing sites in the U.S., along with an established joint venture, PurFi Manufacturing Belgium, which is at the forefront of textile upcycling on a global level with more than five years of rejuvenated fiber and fabric production.”
“With the significant commitment of major brands and retailers to purchase our high-quality rejuvenated fibers and the facility construction in India underway, we are poised to expand global operations exponentially, meeting the increasing demand from brands and manufacturers. Together with Arvind and our customers, we are committed to closing the textile loop, reducing waste and supporting impactful recycling technologies. We have a passion for innovation that will have a transformative impact based on significant investments—financial, technological and personal—to change the world, one fiber at a time,” Nunn said.
“Our organizations share a common value system with a commitment to address the pressing issue of textile waste while advancing sustainability goals. This partnership provides an innovative solution to tackle textile waste and also strengthens our commitment to being ‘fundamentally right.’ We are excited to work with PurFi’s groundbreaking technologies to drive the next phase of growth in textile manufacturing, while significantly reducing environmental impact. The circular economy is increasingly seen as essential for the future of the textile industry. By tackling textile waste, we are paving the way for a systemic shift that will benefit consumers, producers, and the planet,” says Punit Lalbhai, vice chairman, of Arvind Ltd.
