Recycled cotton yarn produced from Honduras post-industrial textile waste: open-end spun counts 6-12s for industrial applications, and ring-spun counts 16-24s for knitwear blending. Available in natural white (KYW), color (KY2), and polycotton blends (KYP). Exported in palletized cones or cheese format, shipped FOB Puerto Cortes at $0.80-1.20/kg depending on count and composition. HS 5510 classification for customs.
Indian textile manufacturers face a strategic choice on recycled content sourcing: (1) import cotton waste and spin internally, capturing the full margin but requiring spinning capacity and recycled-content certification work; or (2) import finished recycled yarn ready to feed into knitting or weaving, higher cost per kilogram but zero processing investment. For export-oriented knitwear producers in Tirupur supplying European brands with Global Recycled Standard (GRS) requirements, option 2 is increasingly attractive because our Honduras recycled yarn comes with full chain-of-custody documentation from post-industrial source through spinning, eliminating the buyer's need to manage waste procurement and recycled-content verification themselves. Our mill processes Honduras cotton waste (same material we export under HS 5202) through open-end and ring-spinning lines to produce counts 6-24s. Quality characteristics: CV% for count variation 2.5-4.5% (compared to 5-8% for typical shoddy yarn from Indian Panipat mills), tensile strength 8-14 g/tex depending on count, hairiness index 4-6 in ring-spun grades. Pricing runs $0.80-1.20/kg FOB versus $1.80-2.50/kg for equivalent GRS-certified yarn from Turkey or Portugal — a 40-55% savings for Indian buyers.

Our current production carries Transaction Certificates under Recycled Content Standard (RCS) issued by Control Union. GRS certification is in process (expected Q3 2026 — audit scheduled for Q2). For Indian manufacturers requiring GRS for European brand buyers, we can supply RCS-certified yarn now and migrate to GRS upon certification completion. Chain of custody from post-industrial waste source through spinning is fully documented.
