Trützschler is achieving runaway success with Truecycled installations in India as the demand for recycled yarns soars.

Truecycled is the company’s complete solution for the advanced recycling of pre-consumer and post-consumer textile waste encompassing all process steps, from the cutting and tearing of textile waste through to the carding and drawing of the secondary fibres.

Just as importantly, Trützschler’s technological expertise enables partner companies to produce recycled yarns with the best possible quality from hard textile waste. In India, Usha Yarn became the first Truecycled reference customer in 2023 and a further ten customers have subsequently adopted the technology.

Special configuration

These pioneers in India are taking action to promote more sustainable, circular value chains in the textile industry. Their yarns are manufactured on lines of Trützschler machinery configured specifically for recycling. All use the T-Blend blow room line and Trützschler carding machines as the prerequisite for their market success.

“By using Trützschler’s innovative T-Blend system for recycling, we are able to meet high expectations for export quality,” says Aravind Prabhu, joint managing director of Sri Velayudhaswami Spinning Mills. “T-Blend and other Trützschler machines are surpassing our expectations and unlocking enormous potential for our recycling lines.”
