R&BIO yarns: the solution
The textile industry is facing enormous environmental challenges at every stage of the supply chain, particularly the preservation of natural resources. 63% of textile fibers come from petrochemical products, the production of which gives rise to significant emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the remaining 37% is dominated by cotton. From an environmental point of view, the closer you go to the end of the supply chain (dyeing, finishing, printing, etc.), the greater is the impact in terms of emissions and use of pollutants. Large-scale reuse and recycling of fabrics could potentially reduce the production of virgin textile fibers. It is easy to understand how recycled cotton yarns represent an excellent solution and a valid alternative to more polluting materials. Cotton recycling is generated from two primary sources: the so-called "Pre-consumer" and "Post-consumer" wastes.
