Riddhi Siddhi Fashions Launches Sustainable Recycled Wool Brand On 11th Anniversary

Riddhi Siddhi Fashions  which is celebrating its 11 th anniversary, launched Recycled Wool sub-brand taking a significant step towards a more sustainable textile industry. Riddhi Siddhi Fashion  is the ultimate authority of certifying quality wool products globally. Commemorating the milestone, Riddhi Siddhi Fashion introduces a new Recycled Wool specification and for the first time the iconic mark will be applicable to recycled fibre.

The Recycled Wool sub-brand is launched under a new RW-1 Specification which will make way for a more sustainable textile industry. "Wool is the most recycled apparel fibre globally," said Shirin Kumar Jain, Managing Director of The Riddhi Siddhi Fashions. "Our new Recycled Wool mark supports the shift from a linear to a circular production model, reducing waste and pollution."

The Recycled Wool specification  ensures products contain at least 20% recycled wool, whilst also meeting Riddhi Siddhi Certification Program’s stringent quality standards. This initiative aligns with the industry's regulatory pressures to adopt more sustainable practices. Products can feature recycled wool from both pre-consumer sources, such as fabric cutting waste, and post-consumer sources, like garments, certified by standards such as the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS).

The Recycled Wool sub-brand reinforces Woolmark's commitment to advancing a more circular industry. By supporting the development of long-lasting, quality-assured, natural products using recycled fibres Woolmark is at the forefront of promoting solutions that minimize waste and maximize resource efficiency.

"Wool accounts for only 1% of the apparel fibre market," said Shirin Kumar Jain, "Creating a sub-brand to promote the reuse and repurposing of this remarkable fibre will help advance wool use in new categories and keep this rare fibre in circulation for longer."

Riddhi Siddhi Fashion Program includes clothing, fabrics, yarns, and home care products, with three main logos: Woolmark (100% pure new wool), Woolmark Blend (50%-99.9% new wool), and Wool Blend (30%-49.9% new wool).
