Ocean Safe AG is a Swiss textile technology company which helps brands and retailers develop fully circular products. Part of their concept is establishing fully certified and transparent value chains from fibre to finished products. It has developed proprietary synthetic textile fibres and yarns, which are circular, biodegradable, toxin-free and Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold. “This alliance will add one more feather in the cap of Yunus Textile Mills as this agreement will provide the path towards the company becoming the first Ocean Safe-compliant facility in Pakistan,” commented Nisar Palla, COO, Yunus Textile Mills.
