We would like to say yes, we are working on that. In the end, our partners’ customers give us their requirements to use conventional or certified cotton. However, if we sell WECYCELD yarn certified GOTS we use only waste out of cotton certified GOTS, of course.
No. In our WECYCLED system we exclusively use production waste from German textile companies that join our system.

The quantity of the yarn we use for our WECYCLED system depends on the technology used in the production. The quantity of the woven fabric depends on the product you manufacture. You can imagine that you have more waste if you manufacture a shirt than a bed linen. Generally, the WECYCLED System opens the opportunity to save up to 15% less water and ground. Additionally, you also save energy costs for the transport. The WECYCLED System is in fact an important contribution to textile sustainability.
No. We use yarns and woven fabric from the production in the early stages of the process. Unused, clean cotton and yarn, which you have to throw away because of technical reasons. We don’t use worn clothes for our WECYCLED-System.
