Why choose recycled fabrics?

Recycled-content fabrics must be specified by fibre type, percentage, source category, yarn, weave, finish, and performance requirements. The source may be pre-consumer or post-consumer and must not be inferred without evidence. Confirm the scope certificate, transaction certificate, test reports, and claim wording available for the selected material and order.

FAQ

What certifications do your recycled fabrics carry?

We can source recycled fabrics to a specified material and market requirement. Confirm the current recycled-content, testing, and traceability documents available for each order before using a certification claim in marketing.

Do recycled fabrics compromise on quality?

Not necessarily. Modern recycled fabrics can meet the strength, color fastness, and hand-feel requirements of many retail applications when the construction is specified correctly. Confirm the target tests and current documents for the selected material and order.

Which recycled material is best for my product?

rPET suits sport bags and casual bags. Recycled nylon is ideal for performance and outdoor products. Recycled cotton works well for tote bags and lifestyle accessories. We can provide samples of each to help you decide.
