Toray is recycling products which have been manufactured using Nylon-6 synthetic fibres like shopping bags, pouches and apparels. Toray will purchase these products and convert them in to a liquid raw material at its plant to produce recycled nylon fibre. This recycled fibre will be consequently manufactured in to fabrics to make bag and pouches.
The textile dyes and chemical sector also picked up the cues of sustainability in innovating a host of eco-friendly dyes and chemicals and the latest techniques in eco-friendly dyeing and printing. It is the first country in the world to have developed and succeeded in applying the cord dyeing process to vegetal products like khaki or indigo.
Apart from these, international stalwarts from the Japanese textile manufacturing sector have contributed no less, by bringing to the markets, machinery which delivers better productivity at lowered costs, in turn improving the profitability of textile enterprises. From among them, a few are Murata Machinery, Toyoda, Shima Seiki, Tajima and Toyota.
