Why recycled advertising clothing ?

With each passing year, eco-friendly apparel produced from materials that were potentially destined for the waste stream is increasingly in demand. This is a conscious response to the increasing pollution of the environment and the desire to to reduce ecologically harmful clothing production. After all, it’s important to know that a total of £25 billion worth of textiles ends up in landfills every year. The recycling of clothing materials aims to use as little as possible of new raw materials, which are heavily harmful to our environment in production. For example, reusing yarn and fabrics reduces water, air, energy pollution by up to 35% . The most popular material that is recycled is polyester. In this case, the reduction of this material from landfills is significant, and the reduction of CO2 emissions when polyester is recycled is up to 75% relative to traditional production.

Recycling cotton also has many benefits.

The recycling process is not complicated. Material cuttings and scraps are sorted by color. A special machine then shreds the material into yarn and then into raw fiber. Such a process makes it possible to use all the new yarn for new cotton products. Such cotton has quite a wide range of uses. Some goes into the production of new clothing, and some goes into the production of various everyday items, such as mops, insulation, bags or backpacks.

An interesting fact is.

The use of plastic bottles in the production of clothing. Yes, you read that right 🙂 To produce 1 meter of fabric from recycled yarn, 32 plastic bottles are enough. There are already several companies on the market that boast such promotional garments in their production. Plastic is added in a small percentage to simply strengthen the recycled cotton fiber.

How about the quality of recycled clothing?

These clothes are no different in terms of quality and durability from the original production materials. Recycled cotton is still an ecological and environmentally friendly fabric. It does not negatively affect our environment in any way. What’s more, once the recycled cotton has passed its life process it can be used again for further recycling.

And we also encourage you to look for eco-friendly materials. The example for you in the photo is our 6 panel baseball cap made from recycled materials. If you would like to find another product that you need for yourself or your business then please email us at info@printexpress.pl.
