Roving Fitil Cotton (Roving Tops)

Roving fitil cotton is a by-product generated during the spinning process of cotton yarn manufacturing. Composed of short fibres, tangled yarns, and other residues, roving fitil cotton waste is collected from the spinning frames and is repurposed for various applications, such as filling material for cushions and mattresses, insulation, and non-woven fabric production.

By utilizing this waste product, industries can minimize environmental impact, maximize resource usage, and support a circular economy, all while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

Roving fitil is also known under several other common industry nomenclatures, including: 

  • Cotton sliver: A continuous, untwisted strand of fibre created during the carding and drawing process.
  • Cotton roving: Another term for cotton sliver, emphasizing the stage in the spinning process.
  • Cotton tops: Like cotton slivers, but the fibres are more parallel and have undergone additional processing, such as combing.
