Premium Fabrics

High-quality innovative fabrics made from recycled plastics.

Every day millions of plastic bottles are being thrown away, meanwhile, those bottles can be a viable, eco-friendly, and sustainable resource! We are damaging and polluting our planet, and that is exactly why we need to be more responsible and take care of Earth. We need to rethink how we use our valuable resources, and recycle plastics is one of them. We believe that waste is only waste when we don’t do anything with it, and with our innovative spirit and technology, we turn waste into innovative fabrics.

You design it, we supply it!

Making high-quality recycled fabrics and recycled textiles from plastic requires deep knowledge within several areas: From the characteristics of plastics in bottles to the dying of fabrics with the unique qualities of recycled polyester. In Waste2Wear we not only create innovative fabrics made from recycled bottles, but we also use them in combination with other equally sensible materials (such as eco-friendly cotton, organic cotton, wool, or viscose) to create a wide range of sustainable fabric options. Our product range is from silk-like, high-end polyester, to sturdy shopping bags made from RPP.
We can provide recycled textiles to factories producing finished goods, already with full blockchain verification. We can compose a value chain from plastic bottles to finished products produced at our partner factories in China. We ensure this by implementing blockchain technology and third-party certifications across our value chain, from collecting plastic waste to the end product, while being flexible and able to offer businesses a fully customized service. Pioneering, collaborative, and solution-driven is how we inspire others to become more circular and sustainable.

RPET

Made from recycled plastic bottles that are collected and recycled in most countries around the world. Waste2Wear’s RPET consumes 70% less energy, 75% less CO2, and 86% less water than virgin polyester.

RPP

Polypropylene (PP) is the second most used plastic globally, most commonly used in home and kitchen appliances, yet only 3% is being recycled. These products, such as fridges and air conditioners, often end up in a landfill. Our RPP fabrics are certified by GRS, perfectly suitable for durable shopping bags and reusable packaging.

Ocean Plastics

Plastic has always been a threat to the environment but its most negative impact comes when it enters the oceans as it kills hundreds of thousands of sea animals. It is estimated that 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year (that means one ton every four seconds).

RPET Leather

Not only does RPET leather make you look good, it also makes you feel good because it’s cruelty-free.

Recycled Nylon

Producing nylon creates nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that is 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
