Reliance Industries (RIL) has introduced a new fabric known as R|Elan GreenGold.
Made from 100 per cent post-consumer PET bottles, R|Elan GreenGold brings together responsible sourcing, traceable systems, and chemistry-backed proof to ensure authenticity at every stage.
The initiative not only strengthens confidence in recycled textiles but also fosters a broader ecosystem of sustainability, fashion innovation, and circular design.
Unlike conventional recycled polyester, R|Elan GreenGold is backed by a brand-controlled ecosystem that ensures every bottle collected, flaked, and spun into fiber is accounted for. With reverse vending machines, trusted on-ground channels, and stringent vendor compliance on labor and environmental standards, Reliance has built end-to-end transparency from waste collection to final fabric.
One of the biggest gaps in sustainable textiles is proof of authenticity. R|Elan GreenGold bridges this gap through Isophthalic Acid (IPA) testing - a chemistry-based method that verifies the fibre’s true PET-bottle origin. Independent global-standard tests consistently validate GreenGold at ~1.8 per cent IPA content, offering brands irrefutable proof of recycled authenticity.
