Recycled cotton

Recycled cotton is made from textile waste left over from manufacturing processes or from used clothing.

• Pre-consumer cotton: includes waste by-products of yarn or fabric.
• Post-consumer cotton: includes used garments; it is more difficult to sort due to different textures and dyes.

These are crushed and mixed with other types of fibers, and once mixed, the fibers are spun into new skeins that are woven into new fabrics that maintain the same characteristics, quality and durability as conventional cotton.

This has many benefits, which include giving a new life to a discarded product, thus reducing energy consumption and waste, as it is not a new product.

Unfortunately, one of its disadvantages is that, since it is a recycled fiber, it is mixed with other fibers and cannot be constantly recycled, and the cost increases slightly in comparison, and a percentage of loss in its production is still recorded.
