The fashion industry, despite its undeniable allure and cultural relevance, faces an increasingly urgent challenge: sustainability. The environmental impact of traditional textile production is considerable, from excessive water and energy consumption to the generation of large amounts of waste. Recycled yarn is already a promising alternative, but it is still surrounded by myths and misinformation.
Myth #1: Recycled yarn is of low quality
Technological advancements in the textile industry have made it possible to develop high-quality recycled yarn that matches or even exceeds the characteristics of conventional yarn in terms of strength, durability, and softness. At Vilarrasa Group, for instance, we focus on the rigorous selection of raw materials and the implementation of optimized processes to ensure an excellent final product.
Myth #2: Recycled yarn is difficult to work with
Recycled yarn behaves similarly to conventional yarn, meaning it can be worked with the same techniques and machinery used in traditional textile production. Our team of experts provides our clients with technical advice and support during the adoption process of this material, ensuring a smooth and successful transition.
Myth #3: Recycled yarn lacks variety in colors and textures
The recycled yarn industry has evolved considerably, offering a wide range of colors, textures, and compositions that allow for the creation of a great variety of garments and designs. At Vilarrasa Group, we have an extensive catalog of recycled yarn to meet the needs and preferences of our clients (explore our color chart here).
Myth #4: Recycled yarn is not a lasting trend
On the contrary, recycled yarn represents a trend with great growth potential. More and more consumers are becoming aware of the importance of sustainability and are seeking products made with eco-responsible materials. Companies that adopt recycled yarn will be at the forefront of this transformation and can position themselves as leaders in a constantly evolving market.
