The textile market in the United States is experiencing a shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly production. One of the prominent options in this trend is the use of pre-consumer recycled yarn in knitwear production.
At Vilarrasa, as a leading manufacturer of recycled yarn, we would like to share with you the 5 reasons why you should consider using pre-consumer recycled yarn in your knitting productions in the US market.
1 Contributes to reducing waste
The use of pre-consumer recycled yarn in knitwear productions in the US market actively contributes to the reduction of textile waste. Instead of generating more waste, pre-consumer recycled yarn uses materials discarded in the manufacturing process, giving them a second life and preventing them from becoming unwanted waste. Opting for pre-consumer recycled yarn is a conscious decision to minimise the negative impact of the textile industry on the environment and promote the circular economy.
2 Saves natural resources
The production of pre-consumer recycled yarn requires fewer natural resources compared to the production of virgin yarn. The need to extract and process raw materials is reduced, which helps to conserve resources such as water, energy and fossil fuels.
3 Reduces carbon footprint
Instead of using virgin materials that require a large amount of energy and natural resources to produce, pre-consumer recycled yarn makes use of existing materials, avoiding the emission of greenhouse gases associated with the extraction, production and transportation of new materials.
4 Promotes sustainability and social responsibility
Using pre-consumer recycled yarn in your knitwear production shows a commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. Consumers increasingly value brands that adopt sustainable practices in their production, which can help improve your brand perception and attract environmentally conscious consumers.
5 Offers quality and versatility
The high quality pre-consumer recycled yarn offered by Vilarrasa meets the quality standards demanded in the textile industry. In addition, the versatility of recycled yarn allows its use in a wide variety of knitting applications, from garments to accessories and household products.
