Its numerous facilities are equipped with the latest generation of spinning systems that produce an average of 2,800 metric tons per week.

In addition to their commitments to social well-being, Frontier Yarns takes measures to reduce the environmental impact and landfill usage of the manufacturing process by collecting and recycling plastic bale wrap and metal strapping ties. They also implement water reclamation measures from their cooling towers to minimize their water and sewer usage.
By joining the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, Frontier Yarns can assure its clients that - as one of the largest producers of cotton spun yarns - they are helping to set global standards for sustainably grown and manufactured cotton.

As a member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol, mills and manufacturers can receive the critical assurances they need to prove to their customers that the cotton fiber they source and sell is sustainably grown with lower environmental and social risk.
The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol is aligned with the 2025 UN Sustainable Development Goals and brings quantifiable, verifiable goals and measurement to sustainable cotton production and drives continuous improvement in six key sustainability metrics –land use, soil carbon, water management, soil loss, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency. It verifies that the cotton grown by its members is sustainably grown through rigorous data collection and independent third-party verification.
Frontier Yarns benefits as a member of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol by being able to show their clients and buyers the assurance they need that the cotton fiber used in their yarns and blends is more sustainably grown with lower environmental and social risk.
