September is already halfway through, and the traditional peak season is still not showing much improvement, but there are some bright spots in the market that deserve our attention. The sluggish textile market in the peak season highlights the trend that niche products will become mainstream in the future. In addition to the sales of niche products such as T400, T800 and PoKa, which are currently particularly prominent in the market, one fabric also ranks first.
It is, recycled environmentally friendly fabric!
An order for 300,000 meters of recycled and environmentally friendly fabrics is coming Recently, recycled and environmentally friendly fabrics have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Many weaving factories have modified their machines to produce gray fabrics of recycled and environmentally friendly fabrics. Fabric manufacturers have also It mainly promotes recycled and environmentally friendly fabrics and has received many orders.
Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of an industry and trade enterprise specializing in peach skin velvet, revealed to the editor that a matt recycled peach skin velvet fabric was recently produced according to customer order requirements. The order quantity of 300,000 meters has just been completed. New orders are currently being tested and the quantity is expected to be large in the future.
Xiao Li, a salesperson from another trading company, introduced the recent trade situation to the editor: “The overall orders this year are not as large as last year. The number of orders has improved since September. Among them, there are more orders for recycled fabrics, mainly recycled pongee. , recycled Oxford cloth, recycled four-way elastic, etc. One order is about 20,000 meters, which is a considerable quantity.” Why are recycled fabrics with double the price so sought after? According to the company’s recent orders, it can be seen that the sales momentum of recycled fabrics is good. Fabrics such as polyester taffeta and popular imitation silk that were once highly sought after have long been eclipsed by recycled fabrics. The same piece of polyester taffeta fabric is woven from recycled fiber. The fabric labeled “recycled and environmentally friendly” becomes a high-end product, but its price is very different from ordinary polyester. Compared with conventional fabrics, the price of recycled environmentally friendly fabrics is 50% higher for gray fabrics and 80% higher for finished fabrics. In fact, recycled environmentally friendly fabrics are not just raw materials using recycled yarn, but all companies involved in product production and operation must comply with GRS standards, that is to say, from raw materials, weaving, printing and dyeing, and even clothing, all involved factories All must comply with GRS standards. Therefore, this is one of the reasons why clothing buyers are willing to accept recycled fabrics at twice the price of conventional fabrics.
