We can always guarantee the ecological sustainability of our garments, because we have developed our own global textile and manufacturing supply chain. By monitoring our source materials and the recycling process in detail, we can ensure that the quality of our products meets the standards of our clients and their customers. With the help of the best experts and suppliers in the industry, we have reached a level of textile quality that is the same, and in many cases better, than that of traditional fabrics.
We’ve worked for years to be able to offer our products for the same price as their virgin counterparts. We don’t use middlemen in the supply chain and we don’t sell seasonal fashion. Instead, we concentrate on basic garments. We believe everyone should have the possibility to make a better choice with Pure Waste.
The raw material is collected from two main sources – cutting clips from CMT factories and yarn waste from spinning/weaving mills. We then sort it by quality and color. The color of the waste, defines the color of the final product. No dying is needed.
Each quality/colour is mechanically opened back into fibres. We focus on keeping the fibre length as long as possible, for the finest yarn quality.
The mechanically opened cotton waste can be mixed with chemically recycled polyester or viscose fibres to reach a specific functionality depending on the final use of the fabric.
The mixed recycled fibres are spun into yarns. This part of the process is the same as with spinning fresh fibres.
The yarns are knitted or woven depending on the final use of the fabric.
Also depending on the final use of the fabric, there are multiple ways of finishing the process, such as compacting, brushing and washing.
This process includes cutting, making and trimming of the final product.
The finished product ready to ship.
