RECYCLED MATERIALS

Recycled materials refer to an approach that revalorizes polluting waste streams. However, it is important to note that recycled materials are not necessarily recyclable. Depending on their category, composition, and combination with other materials, recycled inputs are not always as high-performing as virgin materials.

Here are the questions we will address:

• Recycling processes depending on the type of waste input
• The real environmental impact of turning waste into raw materials
• The advantages and disadvantages of recycled natural, man-made, synthetic, and animal-based materials
• How to integrate recycled materials into your strategy
• Recycled materials currently available on the market
• Balancing quality and durability when using recycled materials
• Tracing post-consumer waste used in recycling processes
• Tracing pre-consumer waste used in recycling processes
• Verifying the composition of recycled yarns, often blended with virgin materials to improve strength and performance
• Certifications related to recycling
