Regen Collection

Regenerated Cotton: Sustainable clothing from a different angle

Clothing can be sustainable for a variety of reasons. Our organic cotton products are sustainable due to the fact they are mostly rainwater fed and do not damage the soil. However, our Regen Collection is different! Jump to products

What is Regenerated Cotton?

Regenerated cotton yarn is derived from cotton waste from the cutting room of cotton garment production which is usually sent to landfill. Instead a dedicated and highly trained team collect and sort the offcuts by colour.

Once colour sorted, the offcuts (also called clips) are shredded down, mixed with recycled polyester from waste plastic bottles, and then spun into yarn, ready to be knitted and woven.

Advantages

• This is completely dry process –the colour sorting means there is no need for further dying reducing further chemical and water waste entering the environment.

• Reduces the amount of waste going to landfill

• Avoids the CO2 emissions associated with growing and processing new cotton.

• Reduces the amount of land needed to grow the cotton

The Savings

On average, one sweatshirt saves 220g of cotton and uses 19 plastic bottles. 3.2kWh of energy is saved and 200g of pesticides and fertilizers.


Mixed with rPET: Sustainability Squared

Our Regenerated cotton sweatshirts are also mixed with a small percentage of recycled polyester - usually around 20-30%. This material is called rPET and is derived from recycled plastic bottles.
