Jiangsu Recycolor New Materials
Recycolor operates as one half of an integrated dual-platform system with CTC (Tiancheng Textile), our sister company with over 30 years of experience in mechanical textile recycling, specialising in cotton. CTC is the largest recycled cotton yarn supplier in China, bringing deep operational expertise, established waste collection networks, and long-standing relationships across the textile supply chain. The two companies together form an integrated platform capable of processing both cotton and polyester textile waste in a closed loop: 100% cotton waste streams go to CTC for mechanical recycling into recycled cotton yarn; TC/CVC blended waste goes to Recycolor for BHET chemical recycling and cotton-polyester separation, with the recovered cotton fraction combined with CTC’s output and the recycled polyester converted into DTY, FDY, or staple fiber. This is genuine end-to-end collaboration across the value chain.
