The new Sustainability Hub in Madurai will sit alongside the Coats Sustainability Hub in Shenzhen, China, accelerating the material transition to recycled and renewable materials.  The two hubs will work together to innovate new generation materials for sustainable sewing threads for apparel, footwear and performance materials. 

This material transition journey is fundamental to the delivery of Coats’ emissions reduction targets. 
It is part of a 10 million USD investment planned over next five years in scaling up the development of green technologies and materials to accelerate the achievement of Coats’ ambitious sustainability targets said Rajiv Sharma, Group Chief Executive.
