Fashion Sector Roots For Recycled Polyester Embroidered Thread

It’s been happening slowly but surely since April of this year. The production of Madeira’s popular Polyneon #40 embroidery thread began to incorporate the use of recycled goods. After research and development, tests and more tests, Madeira needed to make sure that the addition of recycled plastics did not alter colors, change prices or performance of this easy running, bleachable embroidery thread.

While those at Madeira’s international headquarters in Freiburg, Germany, had not seen a great demand for the use of recycled polyester from the promotional sector, the fashion sector has nearly made it a requirement.

Martin Lohe, Commercial Director responsible for logistics, manufacturing and IT for Madeira, Germany, explains, “We have confidence that what we are doing for the market is correct. We are committed to bringing more and more recycled polyester into the production of our Polyneon embroidery thread. Madeira’s goal is to have 30% of the raw material used in the production of Polyneon be recycled materials.”

Slow and painstaking is the process of determining which colors of thread, and by what percentage, can incorporate the recycled goods into their properties, with no loss of quality or adverse effect on color consistency. This was one challenge that kept Madeira from making this step sooner, and for keeping the progress slow and steady.
