NewRetex YARNS® is a new yarn made from recycling fibers sourced from worn-out clothes that are sorted and processed with full traceability from waste to yarns.
Recycled Yarns using pre-consumer textile waste and PET is well-known and the production process as well, but the process of using post-consumer textile waste is new and brings new challenges with it.
Since 2021, our yarn development team has been diligently learning about the unique requirements posed by post-consumer textiles when producing new quality fibers.
In close collaboration with skilled spinners, we have continuously tested and developed fibers, compositions and yarns and at the same time refined techniques, to ensure that we meet our ambition of creating and producing beautiful, recycled yarns with a long lifespan, using post-consumer textile waste.
The meticulous sorting process forms the foundation for crafting high-quality recycled yarns, utilizing post-consumer textile waste sourced from our facility.
Based on the uniform fractions, we select the best suitable ones, and make into yarns together with experienced partners.
First accessories and trim are removed, and the garments are cut in smaller pieces. Then they are scraped up into open fibers suitable for spinning, resulting in a wide range of different NewRetex recycled yarns.
