Raw Material Sourcing

SHENMARK Textile is committed to sourcing recycled polyester materials mainly from post - consumer and post - industrial waste. By using discarded plastic bottles and old clothing, the company gives these materials a new lease on life as high - quality recycled polyester yarn. It has forged partnerships with recycling facilities in Southeast Asia and globally to ensure a consistent supply of high - quality recycled raw materials. For instance, in cooperation with local recycling plants in Southeast Asian countries, SHENMARK can access post - consumer waste, which is then processed into recycled polyester chips for yarn production.

Manufacturing Efficiency

In its production plants, SHENMARK Textile has implemented energy - saving measures. Advanced machinery with low - energy consumption, such as spinning machines equipped with energy - efficient motors, reduces power usage during yarn production. Water - conservation techniques are also integral, with specialized water - recycling systems in place.
