Sustainable Products

Recron^® Green

The impact of climate change is being felt all over the world, and so is the need to change our attitude towards the environment. This has resulted in a growing demand for environment-friendly green products which will boost sustainability. Recycling is one of the vital processes in Green Technology concept. It reduces the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution, and water pollution (from landfilling) and also reduces load on "conventional" waste disposal and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Recron^® Green is a result of processing post-consumer waste into new products to prevent wastage of potentially useful materials and resources. Reliance has developed its own technology to convert post-consumer PET bottles into a high quality polyester staple fibre and tow having the properties nearly identical to the fibre produced from virgin PET polymer. Recron^® Green’s primary purpose is to decrease dependence on natural resources and increase sustainability. At the same time, it also delivers the same quality that customers have grown to expect from any Reliance product. Not only does Recron^® Green deliver the benefits of polyester fibre to as many people and as many uses as possible, it also does so without compromising on any of the parameters that polyester fibre is judged by.

The main advantages from the sustainability perspective are:

• Lesser energy requirement to make products as compared to production from virgin polyester.
• Lesser CO2 emission during production (Environment Saving)
• Keeping bottles and other plastics out of landfills

The major applications are:

• Apparels: Suiting, Denim, Shirting, Knits & Ladies wear.
• Hospitality (Hotels, Shopping Malls etc.) :  Upholstery, Furnishings
• Entertainment (Theaters, Cinema Halls) :  Upholstery, Furnishings
• Home Textiles : Bed sheets, Pillow covers, Curtains, Furnishings
• Non-Apparels
• Carry bags, Tent, Tarpaulin, Awning.
