It is a microscale yarn spinning facility for producing yarns from blends of natural fibres like banana, pineapple leaf and abaca with cotton. It will also offer technical support to textile MSMEs.
The project approved by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is part of the Inclusive Innovation Textiles Empowering Lives Anew (i2TELA) programme, led by the DOST-Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI).
The facility aims to serve as a pipeline to spur development of the local textile industry in the Northern Luzon corridor, said the country’s media reports. It will be established in the Isabela State University (ISU) Ilagan.
