Recycled construction
Recycled Canvas Fabric — Recycled Cotton & RPET, Manufacturer
Recycled-cotton and RPET canvas for compliant retail programmes.
Canvas woven with recycled content — recycled cotton blended with virgin or organic cotton, or a recycled-polyester (RPET) yarn spun from post-consumer PET. For retail and promotional programmes that carry a recycled-content requirement.
Characteristics of our recycled cotton & rpet canvas
- Canvas and duck built with recycled cotton, or an RPET (recycled polyester) weft or warp for strength.
- Heathered look from the mixed recycled fibre; can be piece-dyed over.
- Recycled-content percentage and chain declarations arranged at order stage.
- Recycled cotton lowers wet strength a little — construction is set to hold the target spec.

Ordering recycled cotton & rpet canvas from the mill
Every length is made to your specification — there is no stock list. Send a target construction (yarn counts, ends and picks, weave), a weight in g/m² or oz, a finished width, and the finish state you need: greige, RFD, piece-dyed against a lab dip, or printed. If you only have an end use or a physical sample, we identify the closest article and confirm it on a swatch before bulk.
The minimum is 100 m for greige with no per-colour minimum, or 1000 m per colour once processing is involved. Greige runs in about 2 days; dyed or printed takes about 2 weeks including approvals. We ship FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva or CIF destination port from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, on a staged payment structure where only 10% is committed before production.

Recycled Cotton & RPET Canvas for a specific use
Common questions
What's your minimum order?
100 m for greige, 1,000 m per colour for processed fabric. No full-container minimum.
How wide can you weave?
Up to 140 inch (about 356 cm). Most mills top out at 63 to 98 inch, so wide cloth usually means a seam. Here it doesn't.
How heavy can you go?
Up to 800 GSM (about 24 oz). Many mills cap around 400 to 500.
How fast is delivery?
Greige in about 2 days, processed in about 2 weeks. That's production time; sea transit is on top. Market norm is 30 to 45 days.
Are you GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified?
Both applied for and in progress as of September 2026, not granted yet. Many buyers sample in parallel while certs complete. Organic cotton is available now.
You're a new mill. Why should I risk an order?
The plant is new; the family behind it has 50 years in textile manufacturing, and this is the third generation. We start with a swatch pack, then a small paid trial. Payment is staged 10/15/50/25, so only 10% is at risk before production. Specs are transparent; certs are dated.
What are your payment terms?
10% on order, 15% at production start, 50% on passing QC, 25% on dispatch. Move to LC once we've traded.
Can you do RFD so we dye locally?
Yes. RFD by the roll is a core line. MOQ 100 m as greige, or take it RFD.
Do you ship to the UK, US, EU or Australia?
Yes. FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva, or CIF to your port. UK buyers: the India–UK deal removes UK import duty on Indian cotton fabric.
Can I get a sample?
Yes. A swatch pack plus price list to start, then trial yardage.
