Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world, everything we buy has a devastating impact on the environment. But the textile district of Prato has built its fortune by transforming old textile scraps into new soft fabrics in regenerated fibers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regenerated wool, for example, also called mechanical, is obtained from the complete recycling of post consumer garments or processing waste, composed of different percentages of wool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you want to know how exactly it works? Here are the phases of the regenerated cycle, implemented by our processes:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. Collection<\/strong> of production scraps and post consumer garments;<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Selection<\/strong>: the garments are divided into classes of similar characteristics (composition, color, raw materials, etc.). The person in charge of making the selection is called “cenciaiolo”.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Fraying<\/strong>: technique that consists in reducing the fabric into strips, so you can get from the rags a fiber that can be used again in tessiture.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Carding<\/strong>: this process consists in beating the textile fibers to free them from impurities, untangle them and make them parallel, in order to allow the subsequent wool spinning operations.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Filature<\/strong>: technique that twists the fibers by transforming the carded mass into a more or less thin cord, that is the yarn.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Upcycled fabrics represent a great resource for our planet and they allow to obtain many advantages in the environmental field: for example, the production of upcycled wool reduces water consumption by 90%, but not only that, the production savings also concern the consuption of CO2, energy, chemicals and dyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Furthermore, an upcycled fabric, in addition to transmitting the values \u200b\u200bof sustainability, also means high quality, because even after the process it maintains the same characteristics of the original product.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
