Case : Wuxi Ximeng × Textil EcoFiber S.A.C. (Peru)
A. Brief Introduction of Textil EcoFiber S.A.C.
Textil EcoFiber S.A.C. is a medium‑sized textile manufacturer based in the Gamarra industrial cluster in Lima, Peru. Founded in 2015, the company specializes in producing sustainable knitwear for export – supplying t‑shirts, polo shirts and casual wear to garment brands in the United States and Chile. With 180 employees and an annual yarn consumption of approximately 1,200 metric tons, the company has built a reputation for quality, timely delivery and environmental responsibility.
In early 2026, Textil EcoFiber secured a new contract with a US‑based lifestyle brand that required recycled‑content yarn for its upcoming summer collection. To meet the 25% recycled polyester requirement while maintaining soft hand‑feel and wash durability, the buyer needed a reliable supply of recycled spinning‑grade fiber together with low‑melt fiber for garment interlining and pocket lining applications – where shape retention and seam stability are critical. After evaluating several Chinese suppliers, Textil EcoFiber selected Wuxi Ximeng based on our technical expertise, GRS‑certified recycled products, and competitive lead times.
B. Products Supplied
| Product Specification | Description | Application in Textil EcoFiber‘s Production |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5D×38mm Recycled Solid White Polyester Staple Fiber (Semi‑Dull, Raw White, GRS Certified) | 1.5 denier, 38mm cut length, solid round cross‑section, 2D crimp, semi‑dull luster, raw white, post‑consumer recycled content (from PET bottles), GRS‑certified | Spinning core material for recycled‑content yarn – blended with cotton (70/30 and 50/50) to produce ring‑spun yarns for t‑shirts and polo shirts, meeting the buyer‘s 25% recycled polyester requirement with excellent spinnability |
| 4D×51mm Virgin Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber (Sheath‑Core, 110℃ Melting Point) | 4 denier, 51mm cut length, sheath‑core bicomponent structure, 110℃ melting point, virgin grade, OEKO‑TEX Standard 100 certified | Garment interlining and pocket lining bonding – when heat‑pressed, the sheath melts and bonds the interlining fibers, providing crisp shape retention and wrinkle‑free seams without using chemical adhesive interlinings |
The recycled fiber was supplied with full GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification, including both a Scope Certificate (SC) covering our production facility and Transaction Certificates (TC) for this specific shipment – allowing Textil EcoFiber to claim recycled content in their final garments and meet their US buyer‘s supply chain traceability requirements. The low‑melt fiber was supplied as virgin grade to ensure the most consistent melting performance, which is critical for the uniformity of interlining adhesion.

This was the buyer‘s first direct import trial from China. The two products were packed in clearly marked 250kg bales, with the low‑melt fiber bales palletized and shrink‑wrapped separately inside the same 20GP container to prevent cross‑contamination with the recycled fiber.
D. Key Support Provided
-
Certification and documentation: Full GRS documentation package, including the Scope Certificate (SC) of Wuxi Ximeng‘s recycling production line, a Transaction Certificate (TC) for this specific order, the supplier‘s declaration of recycled content, and batch‑specific test reports for both fiber grades. For the low‑melt fiber, OEKO‑TEX Standard 100 certification was provided to confirm the absence of harmful substances – a mandatory requirement for the buyer‘s export garments.
-
Technical alignment: The buyer‘s spinning line is optimized for 38mm fiber length with a target oil content of 0.14‑0.16%. We supplied the recycled fiber with oil content precisely adjusted to 0.15%, and sent pre‑shipment samples for the buyer‘s mill trial. The low‑melt fiber was pre‑cut to 51mm length and its melting point was verified at 110±2℃, ensuring perfect compatibility with the buyer‘s heat‑press interlining equipment.
-
Customization: The buyer‘s warehouse required 250kg bales (instead of the standard 300kg) to fit their manual handling system. We repackaged both products accordingly at no extra charge. Black polyester strapping bands were used for the recycled fiber bales and blue bands for the low‑melt fiber bales for easy visual identification.
-
Supply chain coordination: The shipment was timed to arrive at Callao port in early April 2026, allowing one full month for the buyer‘s production of the US summer collection. We provided real‑time container tracking and full customs clearance documentation, including the Peruvian customs HS code declarations (5503.20.00 for recycled PSF and 5503.20.90 for low‑melt fiber) and a pro‑forma invoice for import duty reference.
E. Customer Feedback
After the successful delivery and production trial, the general manager of Textil EcoFiber sent us this feedback via WhatsApp:
*“The recycled 1.5D fiber runs perfectly on our spinning frames – even better than some virgin material we have tried. The GRS documentation was complete and accepted by our US buyer without any questions. The low‑melt fiber also performed very well on our interlining press, giving a clean bond with no spots. We have already placed a repeat order for 24MT (1.5D recycled) + 6MT (low‑melt) for our next season. Thank you for making our first direct import a smooth success.”*
– Mr. Carlos Mendoza, General Manager, Textil EcoFiber S.A.C., Lima, Peru
Based on this successful collaboration, Textil EcoFiber has converted to a direct‑sourcing model from China, and we are now discussing additional specifications for their sustainable product line, including a potentially higher recycled‑content grade (50% recycled fiber) for a new eco‑friendly collection for the European market.
