COMPANY PRESENTATION

In 1994 founded Dafecor Oy is a pioneer of utilising textile waste industrially in Finland. The first decade of the 21st century brings ever tightening environmental standards and therefore businesses like Dafecor Oy will have a more important role in industry.

Company's product range consists of various non-woven products made from recycled textile and designed for various industrial, building & construction, professional gardening and household needs. 

The main raw material of Dafecor's products is waste generated from the processes of textile industry Most of the product does not contain any other materials than textile waste. Dafecor’s operations reduce substantially the annual amount of dumped textile waste. Common assumption is that product which is made from recycled materials, is somehow worse than product made from novelty materials. The field where Dafecor's products belong, that assumption has been proved to be incompetent. For example the test results of Pohjois-Pohjanmaan ympäristökeskus (North-Ostrobothnia regional environment centre) showed that utilising of recycled textile fibres does not affect to the product performance and Dafecor's liquid absorbents are very efficient in use.
