In recent years, sustainable development has garnered significant attention across various industries. Among these sectors, the textile industry has notably advanced in adopting eco-friendly practices predominantly guided by large companies promoting their persona of eco-friendly business models. One of the key focus areas includes the use of recycled or alternative man-made fibers (MMFs) such as the recycled polyester staple fiber (rPSF) to reduce the heavy reliance on virgin materials and associated environmental pollution. Currently, man-made fibers make up 72% of global textile fiber consumption, and the demand for polyester in the global market is expected to grow at Compound Annual Growth Rate of 4.95% (USD 29 billion) by end of CY27.
