Eco Textiles

Environmental threats loom large on almost every nation in the world today. With this threat gaining its stature day by day, Eco Textiles gain utmost importance as one of the most useful resources that help promote new innovations, in an eco-friendly manner.

OEKTECH is the term used for technical textiles that are used for environmental protection. It stands for new ideas and interesting concepts in the area of environmental protection, waste disposal (including innovative filtration media) and new recycling technologies. It is opening up new avenues for environmental engineers, safety engineers and personnel in environmental protection agencies.

These eco- friendly textiles provide a range of environmentally responsible alternatives to other resource hungry materials. They tap into both post-consumer and post-industrial waste streams & scrap and reuse them for manufacturing an extremely durable and eco-friendly textile. They not only lead to reduction of waste but also more importantly, save the rapidly depleting natural resources.

Some of the features of these textiles are:

• They utilize ecologically grown fibers.
• They are processed with less damaging inputs.
• The processing units are equipped with good sewage treatment.
• The fabrics are of good quality and long lasting.

A look at some of the products that are manufactured using these textiles:

• Soil seals
• Textile drainage systems
• Erosion prevention systems
• Textiles for protection against hazardous substances
• Mobile containers
• Textile noise barrier systems
• Filter systems (air/water)
