Step 1. Collection of waste plastic items

As we have mentioned, we make recycled fabrics from post-consumer plastic bottles, fishing nets, and other wastes. So, first, we collect such waste materials in Taiwan. The one reason for collecting such materials from Taiwan is that many certified and experienced fabric–manufacturing factories know very well about recycled fabrics.

Step 2. Cleaning and washing

You know well the purity of any material is the essence of quality, so we only use plastic waste materials for quality assurance. After collection, our next process is to wash and clean the plastic nets, bottles, and other products. During that process, all the labels, lids, and other materials except plastic are removed from waste items, then wash them and cleaned with care.

Step 3. Shredding and melting process

The Next process after washing and cleaning is the shredding and melting of plastic waste pieces. All plastic fishing nets, waste products, and bottles are shredded into flakes then melted in the recycled chips to prepare for the next process.

Step 4. Yarn spinning

Once the plastic materials have melted in the recycled chips, they are reformed, and then the spinning process starts. Reformed materials are spun into yarn to ready them for the next process.

Step 5. Recycled Fabrics

It may not be confusing now for you to understand because yarn could easily turn into fabrics. Like other fabrics process, the recycled materials made yarn then turn into fabrics that are durable and fit and sustainable.

We want to be as transparent as possible to you, so we are happy to show you our GRS certification, just click here.
