how we make our recycled cotton fabric

At re-wrap we operate a low waste culture guided by circularity. We challenge ourselves to find use for any waste generated at our creation units, and are pleased to share our latest innovation: our recycled cotton range.

Any pre-production fabric scraps or offcuts from our creation units are collected and finely shredded into lint. This is re-spun into yarn and woven into new fabric. Our recycled cotton fabric is made using 75% recycled cotton. We found a way to blend in a lower percentage of virgin organic cotton (only 25%) while maintaining strength. The resulting fabrics are a unique mélange colour that reflects the fabric offcuts used in their creation. Every batch woven is a one-off and cannot be replicated, making it ideal for limited editions and short runs. 

We offer our recycled cotton fabric unbleached and ready to screen print. The fabric is best used un-dyed to celebrate its beautiful imperfect and inherent characteristics.
