This is a key area for Kiabsa and was identified by the management in 1979 as a niche business. Items in this category are imported/exported by Kiabsa to serve various industries. These materials constitute residues of all types (cotton, acrylic, wool, polyester, nylon etc.,) from different forms of production being fibre production, yarn spinning, fabric weaving/knitting, garment manufacturing etc.
In addition Kiabsa is shipping all types of knitted hosiery clips and pulled fibre (from new fabric cutting wastes) in 100% cotton, poly cotton/poly lycra etc., and the same are used in other countries for the manufacture of open end yarn and shoddy. Kiabsa is also involved in polyester re-generated fibre such as poly sliver, poly yarn etc., in bright/semi-dull etc.
Lastly there is a dynamic business for different types of Cotton Wastes also. As this is a price sensitive item there are times when it is exported out of Asia to Europe while at other times it can be imported into Asia from South/Central America - this could be in the form of fibre waste, yarn waste, sliver waste, noil waste etc.,
In nutshell, Kiabsa has a global market for all kinds of textile wastes at a relevant price level.
These products cover the entire gamut of post consumers textile Upcycling + Recycling internationally and Kiabsa plays a very important role in each of these product categories.
