More and more textiles are being made from recycled materials. Instead of using new raw materials, existing resources are given a second life. This allows valuable fibres to be transformed into high-quality textile products once again.
At Knit Factory, we use recycled materials for selected products within our collection. Whenever this is the case, it is clearly stated on the product page, so you always know exactly what a product is made from and can make an informed choice.
Recycled materials are raw materials that have previously been used and are then processed into new fibres or fabrics.
In textiles, this may include recycled cotton or recycled synthetic fibres. By reusing existing materials, fewer new raw materials are needed and less waste is generated.
As a result, materials that might otherwise have been discarded are given a valuable second life.
Reusing materials offers a range of important benefits.
By processing existing fibres into new textiles, valuable raw materials remain in use for longer and the demand for new resources is reduced. This helps minimise waste and supports a more efficient use of natural resources.
For this reason, recycled materials play an important role in creating a more sustainable textile industry.
We use recycled materials, such as recycled cotton, for selected products within our collection.
We choose recycled materials only when they meet the standards we set for quality, appearance and performance. For that reason, not every product in our collection contains recycled materials.
Whenever recycled materials are used, we clearly indicate this on the product page, including the percentage of recycled fibres used. This gives you complete transparency and helps you make a conscious choice.
Different terms and certifications each refer to different aspects of a textile product.
Recycled materials relate to the reuse of existing raw materials. Organic materials refer to the origin of natural fibres. GOTS goes a step further by setting requirements for both organic fibres and the way they are processed throughout the production chain.
Together, these concepts provide a more complete picture of a product's sustainability.
Yes. Depending on its composition and processing, recycled cotton can be used to create high-quality textile products. At Knit Factory, we only use materials that meet our strict quality standards.
No. We use recycled materials for selected products within our collection. Whenever this applies, it is clearly stated on the product page.
At Knit Factory, quality, comfort and sustainability always go hand in hand. That's why we carefully assess which materials are most suitable for each product. Recycled materials are an excellent choice for part of our collection, but they are not the best solution for every application. We continue to look for opportunities to increase the use of recycled materials without compromising on quality.
At Knit Factory, we believe sustainability starts with conscious choices. That's why we continue to explore where recycled materials can add value to our collection. Step by step, we are increasing their use while maintaining the quality and comfort that define Knit Factory.
