Upcycling Cotton Scraps

Recycled cotton is a fantastic material that gives new life to cotton fibers that might otherwise be discarded.

This process often involves collecting pre-consumer waste, such as fabric scraps and cutting waste from manufacturing processes, or post-consumer waste, like old garments. These materials are cleaned, shredded back into fibers, and spun into new yarn.

Benefits of Recycled Cotton

Environmental Impact: Using recycled cotton significantly reduces the need for virgin cotton cultivation, which is known for its high water consumption and pesticide use. This means less water, less energy, and fewer chemicals are used in production.

Waste Reduction: It diverts textile waste from landfills, contributing to a more circular economy.

Quality: Modern recycling techniques ensure that recycled cotton maintains a high level of comfort and durability.
