Through different collecting textiles campaigns in Mexico, both from citizens and companies, Industrias Marve managed to established solid businesses based on those collected textiles. Industrias Marve is the largest textile recycler in Latin American.
There are not a lot of Mexican companies focused on textile separation as on textile collection. Separation is difficult due to synthetic fabrics. Great quantity of residues come from the consumer's home, but also the fashion industry has become an important pollution generator.
Industrias Marve gets scrap and unsold stock from local companies, collecting their "garbage".
By collecting textiles and depending on their general state, they can be transformed into insulating or cushioning materials which are then sold to the construction and furniture industries. It is their commitment to reduce the environmental impact of those industries, as new and used textiles are reduced, reused and recycled.
Their main transformed products are insulators and supports for mattresses and furniture, insulating acoustic for homes and offices, acoustic and thermal insulation for automobiles and thermal insulator for food and medical products. They focus on cotton, polyester and nylon separation.
Industrias Marve has processed more than 750 thousand tons in the last 45 years and provided textile recycling solutions for the clothing, textile, mattress, furniture, automotive, construction, packaging and medical industries. 90% of Marve's own residues are reprocessed in site.
