The management of the Open End (OE) Mills in Tamil Nadu has decided to switch to polyester viscose yarn production due to the increase in the price of 'Comber waste cotton.
Coimbatore: The price of 'comber noil waste cotton' has increased to Rs 155 per kg.
Tamil Nadu Open End Mills Association (OSMA) Chairman, Arulmozhi said: -
Yarn production with waste cotton from spinning mills is done in open end mills. There are more than 600 open end mills operating in Tamil Nadu. Of these, 2 lakh are directly and indirectly employed.
25 lakh kg of yarn per month is produced in waste mills in open end mills. Usually spinning mills change the price of waste cotton only once a month.
Last April, a kilo of 'comber noil waste cotton' was sold for 120 rupees. But today 'comber waste cotton' sells for up to 155 rupees a kilo.
Yarn production in open end mills has been severely affected due to this price hike. The handloom and powerloom companies operating in various parts of the country, including Palladam and Somanur, have been hit hard by the crisis.
This risks affecting the livelihoods of millions of workers. Textile products made from yarn produced in open end mills often benefit the poor and middle class. The rise in waste cotton prices has also pushed up the prices of textiles.
The main reason for this is that the management of the spinning mill is raising the price of waste cotton every day. So all the Open End Mill management has decided to switch to polyester viscose yarn production due to the increase in waste cotton prices.
The waste cotton discharged from the spinning mills can cause great damage to the environment. These can not be used by anyone other than open end mills.
The management of the spinning mill should immediately reduce the price of waste cotton.
The management of the spinning mill should take into account that if other industries in the textile chain are affected it will have a huge impact on the overall textile growth.
