NEW YORK – Textile recycling start-up ReCircled and vertically integrated denim manufacturer Kaltex have announced a new initiative that will collect and sort used denim garments and then recycle them back into new products.
Under the terms of the partnership, ReCircled will administer a series of take-back programmes and work with brands and retailers on unsold items. These will then be sorted by brand and prepared for recycling. Once the products have been sorted, cleaned and de-trimmed, they will then move to Kaltex for recycling into new denim fabrics and garments.
