Recycled wool is a good alternative to virgin wool and extends the useful life of fibres that have already been produced. This makes it possible to manufacture items with the same qualities as virgin wool at a fraction of the environmental cost.
In general, recycled materials save all the resources needed to manufacture new materials, while avoiding waste from fabrics that have already been produced.
This is particularly interesting for wool, as livestock farming is a significant source of CO2 emissions in the production process. Recycled wool is therefore an eco-friendly material by definition, reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy (94% less CO2 emissions compared to virgin wool).
The most common recycling method is the closed-loop system: woollen garments and fabric waste are sorted and shredded to be reprocessed into fibres, spun again, and then woven or knitted into fabric.
We use recycled wool (alone or mixed with other fibres) for various items such as hats, gloves and scarves.
