Recycled fabrics are produced by recovering existing textile or plastic materials and converting them into new fibers for manufacturing. Rather than defining a specific type of fiber, "recycled" describes the origin of the raw material. The final performance of a recycled fabric depends on the fiber chemistry, manufacturing process, and textile engineering—not simply on whether it is recycled. Two Main Recycling Pathways Modern textile recycling generally follows one of two approaches. Mechanical recycling physically shreds used textiles into shorter fibers before spinning them into new yarns. Because repeated processing shortens fiber length, recycled fibers are often blended with virgin fibers to improve strength and durability. Chemical recycling breaks polymers or cellulose down i
Let’s break down recycled fabrics. Because there is just so much trash and synthetic materials in our world, materials that won’t break down and cannot be sustainably disposed of, recycling them and keeping them in the loop longer is a great solution! Here is our guide to recycled fabrics and why they’re a great sustainable alternative to natural fibres.
