RSWM Milkweed Fibre Presented to Giriraj Singh
During the meeting, RSWM Limited presented its Milkweed fibre innovation and demonstrated a ready-made garment produced from the fibre. The team also discussed its potential applications in textiles.
According to the company, the fibre has three key features: it is lightweight, warm and silky. These characteristics may make it suitable for textile products designed for colder regions.
In addition, RSWM sees potential for Milkweed in other textile applications. The company is exploring ways to develop the material into a usable resource for the industry.
RSWM Explores Sustainable Fibre Applications
RSWM Limited is working to identify new uses for Milkweed, an underused natural resource. Through this initiative, the company aims to develop textile materials that could support new product opportunities.
Furthermore, RSWM is focusing on sustainable textile solutions. The company said its work could support textile production in India while creating opportunities to introduce these products to international markets.
However, further details about the fibre’s processing, commercial availability and intended product range were not included in the supplied announcement.
Textile Bodies Support Milkweed Fibre Development
RSWM Limited expressed gratitude to Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh for his guidance. The company also acknowledged support from the Northern India Textile Research Association (NITRA).
According to RSWM, this support is helping its efforts to develop Milkweed fibre applications. The company aims to continue exploring textile innovation and sustainability through the initiative.
On behalf of CMD Riju Jhunjhunwala and the RSWM family, the company thanked Giriraj Singh and NITRA.
