  • The process of making recycled fabrics requires firstly for the material to be sorted into clothing that can be reused and clothing that is too damaged to be reused and is therefore recycled. Clothing is then sorted based on fiber contents and color. It is a labor-intensive process, which is why only less than 1% of clothing ends up being recycled into new material.
  • Making recycled fabric uses less energy, dye, and water than virgin materials.
  • It also reduces the amount of fabric going into landfill and keeps materials in circulation for longer.
  • Recycled cotton is made from pre-consumer textiles such as cotton scraps, factory offcuts, or deadstock from virgin cotton fabric production. Recycled cotton is often paired with virgin cotton to improve the quality of the finished fabric, as recycled cotton often has lesser yarn strength.
  • Recycled wool yarns are shorter and easily break during production. We combine recycled wool with other fibers, like polyamide to make the fabric more durable and reduce waste in production.
  • Wool is the most recycled fiber and was the first fiber to be recycled: the recycling of wool has been done since the 19th century.
  • Wool has the potential to last at least 30 years and be recycled two or more times.
  • Recycling wool results in reduced methane emissions from sheep, reduced land use and water pollution from washing wool.
  • The wool we use is recycled in a closed loop system, meaning fibers are turned into yarn to create new products of similar quality and use to the original.
  • Recycled wool saves 11kg of CO2 and 500l of water per kilo compared to virgin wool.
  • Recycled polyamide has all the good qualities of virgin polyamide with a reduced environmental impact.
