Kanpur, India – Recycled poly fiber producer Ganesha Ecosphere Ltd. will collaborate with Applied DNA Sciences on supply chain authenticity.

The manufacturer, one of the largest recycled poly fiber producers in India, Ganesha will deploy the CertainT platform, Applied DNA’s traceability system, to tag an initial pilot production of recycled polyester (rPET) at Ganesha’s facilities in India and conduct confirmatory samples testing at Applied DNA’s laboratories in India and the U.S.

The company produces polyester spun yarn, rPET fiber and rPET yarn for use in apparel, pillows, cushions, bolsters, quilts, comforters, mattresses, furniture and soft toys.

Ganesha will also employ Applied DNA’s recently introduced SigNature T-100 tracer system, which enables rPET source material to be quantified in polyester blends by the CertainT platform. SigNature T-100 is a proprietary molecular-based tracer system used to identify, analyze and verify rPET, polypropylene, acrylic, and potentially other man-made materials for claims of both identification and quantification of the raw material tagged and subsequently spun into yarn for various textile products.

“Traceability has now added more authenticity and credibility to the entire textile supply chain and is becoming an integral part of the recycling process. With Applied DNA and CertainT, our customers can now trust in the original tagged synthetic fiber and verify product-related sustainability claims,” said B.P. Sultania, joint president of Ganesha Ecosphere Ltd.

Ganesha Ecosphere Ltd operates three production facilities in north India. GESL produce a wide range of RPSF in white, black and dope-dyed colors in solid and hollow conjugated suitable for Yarn spinning, nonwovens and fiber fill applications. It has also introduced certain specailty RPSF including flame-retardant fiber, anti-microbial fiber and bio-degradable fiber.

“Our India and Asia-based support teams for recycled PET and other polymers facilitate CertainT’s commercial scale-up and integration into customers’ supply chain,” said Dr. James A. Hayward, president and CEO of Applied DNA Sciences, which is headquartered in Stony Brook, N.Y.
