Why Choose Recycled Fabrics?

Just what are the benefits?

Embracing recycled materials offers significant environmental benefits. 

  • decreases the use of harmful chemicals
  • helps conserve water resources and improve soil quality, contributing to a healthier ecosystem. 
  • Reduces the extraction of essential water from surface and groundwater supplies, promoting sustainability. 
  • Incorporating recycled content into clothing can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80%. 
  • A recycled cotton t-shirt requires about 5.4 gallons of water to produce, compared to 164.9 gallons for a new one. 

By rethinking our material sources, we are not merely producing garments; we are actively working towards a more sustainable future.

Unfortunately, the current rate of textile recycling is alarmingly low, with only about 1% of waste textiles being recycled. The planet requires a Circular Economy, where materials are continually reused, preventing the depletion of fresh virgin resources. It is essential to normalise recycling and the use of recycled materials in our practices, so when you choose to buy a T-Shirt made of recycled material, you really do make a difference.
