Recycling
Making regenerated raw material for new, high quality products from discarded textiles (closed loop). New products are frequently offered at the consumer retail level. Discarded textiles are deconstructed through mechanical or chemical means. The original textile is deconstructed and remade into new yarn. Recycling includes clipping waste or garments reprocessed into new fiber and/ or yarn as well as regenerated raw materials that resemble the quality and performance of virgin raw material. It does not include industrial, landscaping, and construction applications.
