This is the wiper business where Kiabsa has made great strides in recent years. These wipers are generated from used clothing waste and are categorized into 8-10 broad categories such as White T-shirt, Colour T-shirt, White Woven, Colour Woven, Flannel, Sweatshirt, Denim, Terry Towel etc., Each garment is cut into 2/4 pieces depending on size. The labels/buttons etc. are also removed during production. Here again packing is normally in bales of different sizes though goods can also be carton packed as and when required.
Kiabsa is also a pioneer in the supply of regenerated wipers in exact sizes such as 37 x 37 cm, 45 x 45 cm etc., This is normally hard to do for most manufacturers in this business but Kiabsa has used its experience of garment manufacturing to good effect and is using the same cutting machines to cut the products into perfect sizes without any stitching or other foreign materials as all the goods can be metal detected upon request. These goods are normally packed in corrugated boxes with handles and can have buyer details/logos printed on them for direct supply to factories/sale in supermarkets in western countries.
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.
