Monique Maissan, Founder and CEO of 'Vision Textiles', says the Chinese company is on an expansion drive in India as the initial reaction for products made from recycled pet (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles has been good in India, especially in the making of children’s school uniforms. The company is in discussion with possible investors to scale up business in the country. It’s also looking for partners.
Maissan further said that Vision Textiles, which sells garments under the Waste2Wear brand in India, is working with TARA looms in Delhi for setting up a new project – Waste2Weave in India. It is aimed at developing new fabrics and handloom techniques to empower women.
Directors of Vision Textiles (India operations), Rajvanti S and PT Mani, said that the company sources yarn from units located elsewhere in India, blends it with cotton or polyester for making the fabric and ultimately stitching the garment. They ensure that the yarn is made from recycled pet bottles.
The entire product range of Vision Textiles is displayed at the garment making unit at Kalapatti (Coimbatore) including sportswear, ladies dresses, upholstery and curtains.
