Techtextil India, India’s largest exhibition for technical textiles and nonwovens, will be held in Mumbai from September 24.

Hosting over 145 exhibitors from 10 countries, the event will showcase the entire technical textile and nonwoven industry value chain with its 10 product groups and 12 application areas of Agrotech, Buildtech, Clothtech, Geotech, Hometech, Indutech, Medtech, Mobiltech, Oekotech, Packtech, Protech and Sporttech, over the three days.

Among the highlights of the show, Reliance Polymers is set to launch what the company claims to be one of the world’s greenest Environment friendly sustainable fibers “Recron GreenGold” manufactured from post-consumer waste PET bottles.

The Recron Green Gold fibres are said to be one of the greenest fibres of the world in terms of Co2e. About terms of sustainability, these fibres help in reducing dependence on fossil fuels, natural resources by using post-consumer waste PET bottles which would otherwise have gone for land fill, oceans, or incineration whereas in terms of performance, these fibers are just like the virgin polyester fibre.
