Recycled cotton is considered one of the most sustainable materials, provided it is recycled properly. It can be defined as cotton fiber used in the textile industry. Textile recycling occurs primarily from two sources: Production waste: Recycling of discontinued parts from production. Consumer waste: Recycling of already worn clothes or used home textiles. Production waste is the most common source, as ready-made fabrics are difficult to recycle due to different color or material content. Care -Recommended washing: 100% cotton, washable up to 60°C. -The recommended washing additive for products with cotton is up to 40°C. -Recommended ironing up to 200°C. Benefits -It is hypoallergenic. -It has a soft touch. -It can breathe. -No electrification. -There are various types of maintenance. Disadvantages -It has low elasticity and may lose its shape. -It is prone to lint. (for prevention, it is recommended to wash clothes inside out) -May fade after long-term sun exposure. -To maintain the durability of a material, it is often combined with another material. Sustainability -Recycled cotton is inherently sustainable, using already existing resources. -Contributes to a circular economy. -Water, fossil fuels and CO2, which would otherwise be used in the production of new resources, are saved. -The creation of a material additive or improvement of the properties of a substance can negatively offset these savings. -Global Recycling Standard (GRS) certification is obtained to maintain sustainable production.
