The traditional production process often has an irreversible impact on people and the planet, prioritizing profit over everything. Often resource-heavy and wasteful, when considered the bottom line, we can understand that in reality, the loss is substantial.
Companies that have high environmental, social, and economic impact are often criticised and lose stakeholders’ trust, failing to meet governmental or industrial compliance and regulations. Businesses are now understanding the necessity of transitioning to make their processes sustainable and enduring.
Sustainability is now a core strategy for many businesses, especially for brands. With solid goals and an aim for keeping their environmental and social impact low, brands are now taking urgent steps in order to keep up with changing market sentiment of conscious consumerism and regulatory frameworks. As such, they are now more inclined than ever to partner up with manufacturers in the value chain that offer them sustainable options that align with their vision.
As a leading RMG sourcing hub, Bangladesh has already proved itself to be a worthy sustainable partner of many renowned fashion brands from all over the world. With 232 LEED-certified factories as of 2024, factories in Bangladesh are now a model of safety standards, resource-efficient and low-impact manufacturing.
Pacific Recycled Fiber Limited proudly exemplifies this effort, going above and beyond to ensure a quality in sustainability that sets a new benchmark in the industry. As a fiber recycling plant, we are taking on the responsibility to mitigate the fashion footprint by reducing waste and reinserting it into the loop as a raw material. Our advanced recycling technologies are one of our core competencies, helping us to build capacity for effective Jhut management while prioritizing environmental stewardship and fostering the demand for eco-friendly materials.
Aside from our traceable and transparent offering, we are also maintaining standards. Our certifications include GRS (Global Recycled Standard), RCS (Recycle Claim Standard), HIGG FSLM, SLCP (Social & Labor Convergence Program). As a company, we are taking actionable steps and are committed to providing our commitment to people and the planet.
As a company, we advocate for workers’ rights and safety, fostering dignity, economic growth, social equity, and well-being across the workforce in the Jhut recycling industry, which is still an informal sector lacking proper policy and development. We are ensuring governance and accountability throughout the Jhut supply chain to create a fair and inclusive ecosystem, driving progress that benefits not only the industry but also the broader community.
Our manufacturing process is green. Our machines are equipped with high-efficiency motors (IP3 rated) controlled by inverters to optimize energy usage and performance. With a rooftop solar installation meeting 70% of the plant’s energy requirements, and skylight panels eliminating the need for artificial lighting during daytime operations, our plant isn’t only cost and energy efficient; we can also send excess solar energy back to the national grid, contributing to national renewable energy use. Finally, our packaging is also made of recycled materials, showcasing an entire process that is optimized to become a standard in the recycling industry, contributing to a refined supply chain that creates products with minimal to no impact.
