Cotton By-Product

Sustainability and developing reuse over refuse capacity is becoming increasingly important in supply chains from both an industrial and consumer perspective. At TP-Exports, through our agri-by-products division, we deliver cotton by-products that would traditionally be marked as waste for recovery into various products, from yarn to paper and pulp.

By adding sustainable cotton by-products into your supply chain you’re able to build your ESG commitments, whilst still achieving the technical and quality performance from your feedstock. 

All of our by-product cotton are processed and delivered under the same conditions as our raw and linter grades, with every container and bale HVI tested to provide batch records and traceability.

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.

Roving fitil is also known under several other common industry names, 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.
