Hebei Linen Home Textile, a Chinese home textile fabrics manufacturer, produces fabrics in 280 sets wide rapier loom, mainly grey fabric for pure hemp and cotton linen and Tencel linen grey fabric.

Dodhia Synthetics, a Mumbai-based company, produces petropoly dyed, fancy, and recycled yarns from PET bottles.
