Panda Biotech teamed up with Pakistani denim manufacturer

The keynote of the collaboration is that customers are increasingly demanding high quality, sustainable textiles and knitwear that conserve natural resources and reduce their carbon footprint. 

On the pages of the profile electronic resource of Ukrainian cannabis growers, various kinds of initiatives implemented by the American hemp fiber processing company Panda Biotech have already been described several times. The article “In Pakistan, the production of fabrics is gradually reorienting to hemp raw materials” described a situation in which the Islamic Republic is actively working towards the use of technical hemp for the production of fabrics or finished products with high added value. The mechanisms for entering the Pakistani market by American companies that specialize in the processing of hemp fiber are briefly disclosed in this material.

US company Panda Biotech announced that they are entering into a global partnership with Pakistani AGI Denim. According to the contracting parties, this merger will merge a leading denim company with US-grown and processed industrial hemp. 

The keynote of the collaboration, according to both parties, is that customers are increasingly demanding high quality and sustainable textiles and knitwear that conserve natural resources and reduce their carbon footprint. In particular, according to one of the leaders of the American “Panda Biotech” “The speed of fashion is unstable. We are on the cusp of big change as brands and manufacturers take on increasingly aggressive commitments to produce green products using renewable energies. Industrial hemp will play a key role in meeting this growing market demand. ”

That is why one of the main priorities of cooperation is the creation of modern technologies that allow the use of hemp fiber to create durable and high-quality jeans. In addition, both companies point to the traceability of the supply chain of hemp raw materials grown in the USA, transported to Pakistan, as a highlight of their production, which is the basis of any hemp product manufactured by AGI Denim. 

According to Hassan Javed, CEO of AGI Denim, “Given the incredibly positive environmental impact of cannabis, we strongly believe that this is the future and the way forward. We are very pleased to see what innovative materials will emerge as a result of this collaboration. "
