What is recycled yarn?

Recycled yarn is created through the process of recovering old clothes, textiles, and other articles from PET plastic for reuse or recovering its raw materials for production.

Recycled yarn is created through the process of recovering old clothes, textiles, and other articles from PET plastic for reuse or recovering its raw materials for production.

Basically, recycled fibers with the input material of PET are divided into 3 types:
Recycle Staple,
Recycle Filament,
Recycle Melange.

Each type will have its own unique characteristics, different uses and advantages.

1. Recycle Staple

Recycle Staple fabric is made from recycled plastic material, unlike Rycycle Filament yarn, Recycle Staple is woven from short fiber. Recycle Staple fabric retains most of the special features of traditional yarns: smooth surface, good abrasion resistance, light weight. As a result, clothes made from Recycle Staple yarn are anti-wrinkle, keep their shape well, have high durability, surface is difficult to stain, do not cause mold or cause skin irritation. Staple yarn, also known as short fiber (SPUN), has a length of a few millimeters to tens of millimeters. It must go through a spinning process, so that the yarns are twisted together to form a continuous yarn, used for weaving. The surface of the short fiber fabric is ruffled, ruffled, often used in autumn and winter fabrics.

2. Recycle Filament

Similar to Recyle Staple, Recycle Filament also uses used plastic bottles, but Recycle Filament has a longer fiber than Staple.

3. Recycle Melange

Recycle Melange yarn is composed of short fibers similar to Recycle Staple yarn, but more prominent in color effect. While the Recycle Filament and Recycle Staple yarns in the collection are only monochromatic, the color effect of the Recycle Melange yarn is more diverse thanks to the blend of dyed fibers together. Melange can have additional colors such as blue, pink, red, purple, gray.
