Textile Waste
What Is Textile Waste?
Spinning textile waste is a non-hazardous waste that can be reused to manufacture products in the chemical and paper industry, but also for the creation of new yarns with a slightly lower quality level. Spinning produces waste because of a set of discontinuous fibres’ twist and in some cases these fibres remain as residuals in the machining process.
Re-using textile waste is an environmentally sustainable solution, as it significantly lessens waste production, reducing the environmental impact on our planet.
​
We are currently sourcing polyester, viscose, spandex, nylon and acrylic yarn waste from our suppliers based in Thailand.

The Positive Impact of Re-using Textile Waste

Did you know? That the 15% of textiles that are recycled today globally has the environmental impact equivalent to removing 590,000 cars from the road every year!* Re-using textile waste contributes significantly towards reducing the negative impacts that the textile industry has on our planet.
In addition to that, it is also very cost effective, as the cost of producing new yarn significantly reduces (recycled yarn is much cheaper than regular yarn). Typically, yarn spinners use approximately 20-30% of yarn waste for the creation of new yarns. The quality of these new yarns are slightly lower than regular yarn made without the use of yarn waste. Recycled yarns still hold their quality and can be used for the same applications as regular yarns.
