Your Textile Waste Can Become Your Next Material.
Circular Fashion Textile Waste Solutions
Fashion creates valuable materials throughout its production journey from cotton fibre and fabric to garment manufacturing.
At Jothi, we help brands explore a circular pathway for suitable cotton textile waste, transforming recovered material into recycled cotton paper and recycled cotton board for packaging, tags, stationery and other applications.
Instead of treating suitable textile waste as the end of its material journey, we explore how it can become part of a new product and packaging story.
The fashion industry generates material waste. What happens next?
Textile production runs through multiple stages, and each can leave behind suitable cotton textile waste that no longer serves its original purpose. The opportunity is to look beyond first use and ask what the material could become next.
From cotton textile waste to new material
Our circular fashion approach connects the textile and packaging sides of the value chain.
The objective is to keep suitable material in use by giving it another practical application.
How circular fashion works
A practical pathway connecting suitable cotton textile waste with recycled paper, board and new fashion and packaging applications.
Where the material journey begins
Suitable cotton textile waste can occur at different stages of the value chain. Material is assessed and prepared for recovery before it’s developed into recycled paper or board.
Cotton fibre
Raw fibre waste from early-stage processing.
Fabric
Woven or knit material left over from production.
Garment production waste
Cuttings and offcuts from manufacturing.
Other suitable waste
Additional cotton textile waste streams, assessed case by case.
For tags, labels and brand communication
Recovered cotton material developed into recycled cotton paper for garment tags, swing tags, labels, inserts, belly bands, stationery, packaging components and brand communication.
Explore recycled cotton paper →For structure, where the application needs it
For applications requiring greater thickness and structure — rigid boxes, premium packaging, garment packaging, hangers, inserts and display structures.
Explore recycled cotton rigid board →The right pathway depends on the material’s source, suitability and the intended product requirement.
Jothi’s paper-making journey began in 1996, combining handmade paper-making experience with recovered fibres and material innovation — now focused on transforming cotton textile waste into recycled paper and board for fashion, packaging and other industries.
