Sustainability at Kavak Yarn – A Commitment to a Greener Future 🌱

At “spinning.com.tr | clover®“, sustainability is not just an initiative—it is at the core of our operations. As a GRS-certified manufacturer, we are dedicated to reducing waste, minimizing our environmental impact, and pioneering new methods of responsible production. Our commitment extends from the materials we use to the way we manufacture, package, and distribute our products.

♻ We Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle

Sustainable Use of Byproducts

Every stage of our production generates valuable byproducts, which we innovatively repurpose to create zero-waste solutions. Instead of discarding residual fibers, organic materials, or packaging waste, we integrate them into new production cycles, reducing environmental impact while maximizing resource efficiency.

• Reclaimed Cotton & Pre-Consumer Fibers: Fibers rejected from the spinning process are repurposed into raw materials for cotton balls, swabs, cleansing pads, and spun yarn production.
• Pepper Trash (Organic Waste): Extracted organic materials such as bark, leaves, and grass are compressed into briquettes and supplied to farmers as fertilizer or animal feed.
• Comber Noils: Short cotton fibers removed during the combing process are baled and reused in specialty yarns, or repurposed for cotton pads, swabs, and hygiene products.
• Stranded Sliver Motes: These residual fibers are collected and utilized in specialized textile products.
• Thread Waste: We bale and repurpose thread waste as insulation filler and stuffing for various products.

By closing the loop in our fiber production, we are eliminating unnecessary waste and ensuring that every material finds a new purpose.

🌍 We Recycle Everything – From Packaging to Production Waste

Our entire supply chain is designed to be as sustainable as possible, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.

✔ Recycling Packaging Materials

• Bale Bagging (Polyethylene & Polypropylene) is collected and recycled.
• Bale Wires & Metal are recycled into new industrial materials.
• Bale Strapping (Polyethylene) is repurposed into reusable packaging.
• Cardboard is collected and recycled at specialized facilities.
• All paper tubes & cones are made from 100% recycled materials.
• Returnable Plastic Pallets: We use high-density returnable plastic pallets for yarn cones, which are emptied and returned for reuse after delivery.
• Reclaimed Wax: The small wax disc remnants from our knitting yarn production are melted and reformed into new wax discs.

Additionally, we recycle everything in our offices, warehouses, and production facilities, from paper waste to breakroom cans and bottles—ensuring that our entire operation is aligned with environmentally responsible practices.
