Cotton Waste (South India)– Market Overview & Industry Significance

Comber Noil, which is a spin-off of combing in cotton spinning, finds extensive application in the manufacture of absorbent cotton, yarn for lower counts, and in nonwoven textile use such as medical supplies and wadding. South India, with its cluster of spinning mills—particularly in textile centers such as Coimbatore, Ilkal, and Karur—is a major producer of Comber Noil.

The region's established infrastructure, skilled workforce, and conducive climate for cotton processing render it a leading player in India's cotton waste production. The Ex-Mill price, which is fixed directly at the source (the mill), takes into account information regarding prevailing market conditions, cost factors, and supply-demand dynamics in the region.

Comber Noil is a budget-friendly and green choice for companies, which suits the increasing trends of environmentally conscious raw materials. Most South Indian mills implement efficient sorting and baler technologies for maintaining waste fiber quality consistency.
