Echo Recycle
Kaltex has extensive experience with recycled cotton. Over the last 15 years we have made major financial investments which allows us to capture all of our cotton waste, including fiber, yarn, fabric and cutting room scraps.
Our recycling process extends the lifespan of the cotton fiber thereby using less environmental resources. This also mean less waste going to landfills.
Allowing for scalable and internally vertical capacities in recycled yarn-based fabrics for a greener future for all.
High quality recycled cotton fabrics, manufactured with recycled cotton waste fabrics, reduce our use of virgin cotton and thus significant water, CO2, and other environmental impacts from cotton farming.
