Valley Recycling

Waste textiles arise during yarn and fabric manufacture, garment-making processes and from the retail industry. These are termed post-industrial waste.

Valley recycling specialises in synthetic fibre recovery by stripping yarn and filament from cones, bobbins, and cops. Our suppliers cross the textile industry from carpet to automotive manufacturers.

Using engineered yarn-stripping machines we separate the yarns from the packages and bale the material for recycling use within the textile or plastics industry.

Whilst nylon 6 /6.6,and polypropylene yarns are our main value streams. we also recycle nylon warp residues, polyester yarns, cotton yarns, wool yarns, plastic film, plastics, and cropped nylon dust.

Fibre recovery and recycling provide both environmental and economic benefits.

• Reduces the need for landfill space. Textiles present particular problems in landfill as synthetic (man-made fibres) products will not decompose, while woollen garments do decompose and produce methane, which contributes to global warming.
• Reduces pressure on virgin resources.
• Aids the balance of payments as we import fewer materials for our needs.
• Results in less pollution and energy savings, as fibres do not have to be transported from abroad.
