RECYCLED WOOL

This fabric is made by Manteco®, a leading company for premium quality fabrics and circularity since 1943, based in Italy.

It is made of 100% MWool®, the next generation of recycled wool, obtained by recycling highly-selected post-consumer garments and pre-consumer leftovers. It eliminates the need to use new wool by making the most of what’s already been produced, featuring all the natural and valuable characteristics of virgin wool, but with the lowest impact possible. Compared to generic virgin wool fibers, it impacts 99,2% less on climate change, 99,9% less on water use and 93,3% less on total energy consumption. The fabric’s color is obtained without added dyes and chemicals, just by mixing several different shades of recycled wool fibers, developing actual ‘recipes’ of no-dye colors, which are archived and adapted to the kgs of yarns that need to be produced - the so-called Recype® process.
