Quality
Every bale leaves with its specification and its certificate trail
We buy our raw material directly from factories, open and clean it on an automated production line, and press it into bales that open-end spinners accept for their fibre length, good micronaire and zero trash content.
-
Bought direct from factories
Pre-consumer textile mill waste and post-consumer used clothing, purchased at the source.
-
Processed on an automated line
Opened, cleaned and baled on our production line; equipment is replaced or refurbished as buyers' requirements change.
-
Certified chain of custody
Processed under the Global Recycled Standard, first certified by Control Union in 2018.
How it works
From textile waste to spinner-ready fibre
Five steps, one mechanical process. No new cotton is grown, and the fibre goes back into yarn.
Read about the process
Step 02
Sort
Material is graded by colour and composition before it is processed, so each lot runs consistently.
Step 03
Open
Garnetting machines open the fabric back into fibre. It is a dry, mechanical process.
Step 04
Clean and bale
Trash is removed and the fibre is pressed into 135–140 kg bales, ready to ship.
Step 05
Spin
Open-end spinners turn the fibre into yarn. We also supply open-end cotton yarn from Ne 6 to Ne 20.
