RECYCLED COTTON

Recycled cotton is produced from either pre-consumer waste (scraps from fabric production) or post-consumer waste (used garments and textiles). This process diverts waste from landfills and reduces the need for virgin cotton, which is resource-intensive to grow. Recycled cotton maintains much of the softness and breathability of organic cotton, making it a comfortable and sustainable choice for t-shirts. While recycled cotton may not be as strong as virgin cotton, blending it with other fibers can enhance its durability and create a high-quality fabric. Using recycled cotton reduces water usage, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional cotton production. By incorporating recycled cotton into your apparel, you’re supporting a more circular economy in the textile industry.
