FROM WASTE TO COLLECTION Circular Textiles. “From used textiles and recycled polyester to new fabric!” WoW! Made in Turkey, this yarn comprises a mix of 30% worn clothing, 20% off-cuts from fabric, and 50% recycled PET polyester, made from used polyester clothes, plastic bottles, fishing nets and other materials. Adding recycled polyester makes the material strong enough to re-knit and re-weave fabrics. Adding used textiles makes the fabric wearable and comfortable, so that no new cotton needs to be used. This saves a huge amount of water, and also means that cotton fields can be used to grow other crops in the longer term. 62 FROM USED TEXTILES TO NEW FABRIC NEW FASHION, CIRCULAR TEXTILES
