We’re all used to the comfort of stretch in our clothing. But stretch materials aren’t the most planet-friendly. As we want to create clothing that you want to wear day in and day out, we often incorporate some stretch. Lately, we have been trying out recycled elastane, so let’s inform you about the ins and outs of recycled elastane!

How is the recycled elastane fabric made?

Recycled elastane is made by collecting used elastane materials from manufacturing waste and breaking them down into their raw components. First, elastane materials are broken down into basic chemical components. Then, the resulting raw materials undergo purification to remove impurities. Finally, purified materials are reassembled into polymer chains to create high-quality elastane fibres. Ready to be used in new fabrics for our garments.
