Maliha Poly Tex - turning PET waste into polyester staple fibers

Maliha Poly Tex turns post consumer PET bottles and other PET waste into polyester staple fiber (PSF) in its factory in Shakhipur, Tangail in Bangladesh.

Problem

The use of virgin materials throughout the textile industry is often resource-heavy and has huge ecological ramifications. Only 9% of all plastic today is reused. The rest end up in landfills or worse, the ocean. Every minute of every day, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic is dumped in the ocean.

Solution

Maliha Poly Tex is the first Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certified PSF manufacturing company in Bangladesh. The company is producing eco friendly 100% Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) in Bangladesh. This company is a joint venture with a highly technically resourceful, experienced partner from China.
