Recycled cashmere is an ecological and sustainable solution that comes from the reuse of existing cashmere, from discarded garments or industrial offcuts. This process allows to reduce the consumption of natural resources and the environmental impact of cashmere production, since it avoids new shearing of the goats from which the cashmere comes and minimizes the consumption of water and energy.
How it is produced
Recycled cashmere is obtained by recovering cashmere garments, which are selected, cleaned, frayed and reduced to fiber, ready to be spun again. The recovered fibers are often shorter than the original ones, so the yarn can lose some of its softness and resistance compared to virgin cashmere.
Benefits of Recycled Cashmere
Environmental sustainability: Reduces the use of natural resources and the release of chemicals in the production processes.
Reduction of textile waste: Gives a second life to discarded garments and industrial leftovers, limiting landfill pollution.
Ethical impact: Less pressure on the production of virgin cashmere also means less risk of practices harmful to animals.
Quality and characteristics
Recycled cashmere may be a little less soft or less resistant than new cashmere due to the shorter fibers. However, its processing still allows for the production of a very comfortable material that is cheaper than traditional cashmere.
Recycled cashmere is mainly used in knitwear, in items such as scarves, sweaters, coats and various accessories, especially by brands committed to sustainability, which aim to create elegant, ethical and environmentally friendly products
