Strengthen your brand reputation

Tuli Trading's Recyling meets fashion concept ensures that your licensed apparel is produced under Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification and made from Pure Waste Textiles' 100% recycled yarn.
We work in partnership with Pure Waste Textiles in India, garment factories, and our office in Bangladesh. This means that all products are 100% recycled – and the process is 100% controlled, transparent and certified.
The key points of our Recycling meets fashion concept include:

Partnership with Pure Waste Textiles

Homogenous yarns are key to creating good quality garments. We work with Pure Waste Textiles, a Finnish innovation and research company that has put a huge amount of effort into developing its recycled yarn.
Pure Waste Textiles is a worldwide forerunner in developing new recycled yarns using mechanical and chemical processes.
Current Pure Waste Textiles yarns are a blend of two raw materials – mechanically recycled cotton collected from sewing factories and recycled polyester manufactured from PET bottles. No new raw materials are needed.
The Pure Waste process:
Collecting & sorting waste
Recycling
Blending
Spinning
Pure Waste yarns are made of 100% recycled raw materials. The main raw material, cotton cutting waste, is collected from cut, make and trim (CMT) factories and then sorted by quality and color.
Each quality and color batch is mechanically opened into fibers. The color of the waste defines the color of the final product. No dyeing is needed.
The mechanically opened cotton waste is mixed with chemically recycled polyester fibers from PET bottles.
The mixed fibers are spun into yarns. This part of the process is the same as when spinning fibers from virgin material.
