UPCYCLED cotton

Our PYRATEX® upcycled fabrics are made with upcycled cotton originating from post industrial textile waste. Our fiber producer collects textile residue, used garments and fabric waste from productions in Portugal.

​

1kg of virgin cotton needs around 13 000 litres of water during farming, processing and dying.

1kg of our upcycled cotton needs 0 litres: it is not farmed, processed, or dyed.

​

The fibers are mechanically recycled, and the yarn is spun in Spain, a process during which 50% of the energy used is solar. It is not a chemical recycling process, and no pulp is involved: the fiber is, and remains, cotton.
