A T-shirt made of strong yarn made from regenerated cotton and recycled polyester fibre.
The cotton, which comes from cotton leftovers, is collected and selected by color, then shredded and processed together with recycled polyester made from bottles, in order to obtain a new regenerated fibre.
The use of the two circular materials allows to reduce the amount of water, pesticides, chemical products and energy used used in the production, compared to the use of virgin material for the production of a cotton T-shirt.
The entire production takes place within a radius of 30 km in the textile district of Prato, thus also reducing the environmental impact due to transport.
