Swiss textile recycling company Texaid which sorts, resells and recycles post-consumer textiles has teamed up with Italian spinner Marchi & Fildi and Biella-based weaver Tessitura Casoni to develop a 100% recycled textile made from 50 per cent post-consumer cotton and 50 per cent recycled polyester supplied by Unifi.
Ordinarily, fabric blends with above 30 per cent post-consumer recycled cotton have been problematic due to the shorter fibre length contributing to fabric weakness.
