Recycled cotton is re-purposed, post-industrial or post-consumer cotton that would otherwise become waste. For example, imagine a factory that cuts patterns for clothing out of big sheets of fabric and has all the in-between pieces to discard. The scraps of such cut and sew facilities are post-industrial cotton “waste” that have the capacity to be recycled. Post consumer waste is material discarded after someone uses it. 

Recycled cotton’s production process saves resources and energy to create, because their raw material already exists! It gives discarded cotton a purpose, keeping material in the loop for longer, contributing to circular fashion.

Recycled cotton comes from the soft and fluffy part of the cotton plant. It is a lightweight material that is durable, making it a wardrobe staple, and can last in your closet for years to come.

Recycled cotton can be recycled again and again, creating a new recycled cotton clothing. It is also a bio-based material, making it biodegradable, so it can fully decompose when it has grown too old to be recycled again.

Recycled cotton is re-purposed, post-industrial or post-consumer cotton that would otherwise become waste.

The scraps of such cut and sew facilities are post-industrial cotton “waste” that have the capacity to be recycled.

Recycled polyester also known as rPET, is created by melting down existing plastic and re-spinning it into new polyester fiber. This fabric can be made from either post-industrial or post-consumer materials. For example, 5 water bottles yield enough fiber for one extra large T-shirt. This material repurposes existing plastic that would otherwise end up in the landfill or the ocean. 

Recycled polyester’s sustainable production requires low resources and energy to produce, and contributes low CO2 emissions. It also reduces the need to extract crude oil and natural gas from the ground to make more plastic, which is much better for the Earth.

Recycled polyester has not much difference from virgin polyester. It exhibits high strength, durability, versatility, and performance, lasting long in your closet, and surviving expected wear and tear easily.

Garments from recycled polyester aim to be continuously recycled without degradation of quality, allowing for circularity.

A synthetic material. However, instead of utilizing new materials to craft the fabric (i.e. petroleum), recycled polyester makes use of existing plastic.

Organic cotton is cotton grown in pesticide-free environments, with sustainability in mind. 

Organic cotton farmers can keep soil healthy for longer, as the fertility of the soil is not compromised. This also means they only grow GMO-free seeds. Additionally, organic cotton farmers do not have to expose themselves to harmful chemicals, prioritizing workers' health, the health of the people in their communities, and the natural ecosystems they operate in. 

Organic cotton is a bio-based material, making it biodegradable, fully composting after it has retired from use.

Organic cotton is a sustainable solution as it is grown without the use of pesticides, from seeds which have not been genetically modified, unlike regular cotton. It is also more sustainable for cotton farmers, protects their land and is more respectful for people.

Recycled nylon is mostly made from post-industrial fabric waste, although it also comes from post-consumer materials such as nylon carpets, tights, and industrial fishing nets.

Recycled nylon offers a great solution to save plastic material from the oceans. It gives nylon waste a second life, contributes to the circular fashion movement, and saves water, energy, and fossil fuel in its process. 

Recycled Nylon is high quality and extremely durable, so nylon is often used for technical, high-performance products. Because of this, recycled nylon can be trusted to last a long time in your closet.

Recycled nylon is endlessly recyclable, so it can be made into a new recycled nylon product when it has retired from use.

A large part of the recycled nylon produced comes from old fishing nets. This is a great solution to save material from the oceans. It also comes from nylon carpets, tights and other products. Recycling nylon is still more expensive than new nylon, but it has many environmental advantages.
