What are they?
Recycled textile materials may include recycled cotton, recycled polyester and blended fibre constructions. Performance depends on fibre content, yarn and fabric structure.
Typical uses
Casualwear, sweat products, selected activewear and fashion garments.
Common weights
Recycled cotton blends are commonly available as single jersey (150–220 gsm) and 3-thread or fleece fabrics (280–400 gsm). Recycled polyester knits typically range from 120–200 gsm for activewear to 220–300 gsm for fleece.
Production considerations
Certification, composition, colour, hand feel and performance requirements should be confirmed before bulk sourcing.
Quality starts before production
Relevant fabrics, trims, artwork, print or embroidery requirements and other value-added processes are reviewed against approved product requirements before bulk manufacturing begins.
