GHCL has partnered with Applied DNA Sciences (ADNAS), New York, a company that develops and employs unique technologies for the purpose of preventing counterfeiting and Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL), an Indian conglomerate and the world’s largest manufacturer of polyester fiber and yarn launched CertainT® verified molecular tagged, recycled PET (“rPET”) bedding products under the brand “Rekoop”.
“Rekoop” is the first fully source-verified recycled PET bedding product line which uses CertainT, Applied DNA’s proprietary traceability system that tags, tests and tracks the original r-PET pellets to finished products.
By collaborating with RIL and ADNAS, GHCL is taking a sincere effort towards reducing plastic pollution. About 360,000 PET bottles will be used for every 10K sheet sets of 200 TC (60% cotton 40% recycled PET). This will reduce carbon emission by 35 tons, crude oil consumption by 25 barrels and land fill by 40 cubic yards. This is our contribution towards creating a sustainable future. GHCL’s collaboration with ADNAS will help in verifying the authenticity of these CertainT products.
