PurFi Global And Arvind Ltd Unveil Plans To Scale Up Circularity Facility In Gujarat

PurFi Global, a leader in textile rejuvenation technology, and Arvind Ltd, a global textile manufacturing giant, have unveiled plans to scale up operations with a state-of-the-art textile circularity facility in Gujarat, India. This initiative aims to support global retailers’ sustainability goals by producing rejuvenated fibres for fashion apparel and accessories, addressing the growing demand for sustainable materials.
The joint venture, PurFi Arvind Manufacturing India (PAMI), will establish ten production lines over the next four years. The facility will initially offer an annual capacity of 3,500 metric tonnes of rejuvenated fibre, with an additional 5,500 metric tonnes from a secondary line. Designed for scalability, the facility plans to expand to 10 production lines within three years to meet the rising demand from global brands.
PurFi’s proprietary technology transforms textile waste into high-quality rejuvenated fibres that meet industry standards. The process involves collecting and sorting textile waste, removing elastomers and reverse spinning to create fibres comparable to virgin materials. These fibres can be made from materials like cotton, viscose, silk and aramids, ensuring a wide application in sustainable textile production.
Joy Nunn, CEO of PurFi Global, stated, “Our advanced technology and robust intellectual property allow us to meet the global demand for virgin-like rejuvenated fibres. With operations in the U.S., Belgium, and now India, we are making significant strides toward closing the textile loop and supporting impactful recycling technologies.”
Punit Lalbhai, Vice Chairman of Arvind Ltd, said, “This partnership addresses the critical issue of textile waste while driving sustainability in manufacturing. By leveraging PurFi’s innovative technology, we aim to create a systemic shift in the industry, benefiting consumers, producers and the planet.”
The collaboration aligns with the increasing focus on circular business models and recycling infrastructure. According to the Circularity Gap Report Textiles by Circle Economy, only 0.3% of the 3.25 billion tonnes of materials consumed annually by the textile industry come from recycled sources, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable solutions.
