Remscheid, - The Indian yarn manufacturer Polygenta, specialized on the manufacturing of sustainable recycling yarns, recently commenced production of recycled polyester FDY yarns at its facilities in Nashik.
From a modest beginning as a texturizing company Polygenta took a bold step to adopt a new way for polyester production applying a novel technology and proceeded to set up a polyester manufacturing plant in Nashik, India.
A combination of hostile market conditions and a challenging new technology led to a temporary suspension of operations. Polygenta has worked meticulously to develop and commercialize its breakthrough technology which is now being implemented in Nashik.
Guided by a diversely experienced board, the team at Polygenta now stands more focused and determined.
Powered by its exclusive patented technology, single minded focus and strong financial backing, Polygenta is on course to make a significant global impact.
The yarn is produced using a combination of perPETual Global Technologies patented chemical recycling technology and Oerlikon Barmag’s direct spinning system equipped with the 32-end WINGS concept.
Recycling Polyester
The spinning plant was commissioned by Oerlikon Textile India technologists in close collaboration with the process experts at Oerlikon Barmag, with various FDY products currently being developed.
The yarn produced caters to the requirements of premium-segment clients demanding high quality, cost effective sustainable solutions.
As one of the world’s first companies to produce re-cycled poy,, Polygenta has, since 2014, been producing 100% recycled POY and DTY from post-consumer PET using the patented chemical recycling process developed by perPETual Global Technologies.
perPETual’s process reduces CO2 impact by more than 66% compared to virgin PET.
The yarn is spun using Oerlikon Barmag systems and equipment.
As a result, Polygenta is able to produce a wide range of DTY and FDY yarns that comply with the Global Recycled Standard (GRS)
