Momentum with retailers and manufacturers across a variety of textiles is growing and we are pleased to see the CertainT platform and trademark now making its way onto retail shelves this year,” he added.
Operating its home textiles facility in Vapi, in the state of Gujarat, India, GHCL has integrated the new CertainT verified rPET fiber into its production process, from spinning to weaving to finished processed fabric.
