Description
The product being described is a pack of 5 salon towels made from recycled yarn, specifically 380GSM 50X090CMS Navy. The company, Bunty's, uses recycled yarn made from leftover fabrics to reduce waste and help the environment. The recycled yarn is made by crushing the fabrics and blending them with polyester fibers to increase strength. However, there are some drawbacks to using recycled yarn, such as the inability to recycle cotton multiple times and the potential for bleeding dyes. The product should be washed in cold water and dark colors should be kept separate. The product is also available in a variety of colors and sizes, and can be purchased in packs of 1, 10, or 300.
What is Recycled Yarn?
The textile waste of South Africa is only 13% recycled, balance all goes to landfills, incinerators and dumps which land up in oceans. Recycled yarn, used by Bunty?s is made of virgin grade left over fabrics. This is one of our great efforts in going Green and saving our environment and helping our planet. It would not only reduce carbon emissions by not incinerating but also help in reducing waste. By reusing the cotton we would be also reducing our carbon footprint and water consumption in the agricultural industry, which makes it more sustainable.
How is the Recycled Yarn made?
Recycled yarn is made by crushing the original left over fabrics to attain slivers. These fibres are then rewoven but are not strong enough so polyester fibres are blended in. The polyester percentage can be from 20-50% depending on the strength of the actual fabrics. At Bunty?s we try very hard to attain maximum strength by adding mostly 20% polyester to our cotton. This helps us keep the properties of the products still having maximum Cotton percentage thus not loosing on the absorbency and softness of our products.
Drawbacks of Recycled Yarn
Cotton cannot be recycled all the time, after a few recycles the threads are very weak and cannot be used. The testing is not available for Recycled Yarn as the fibers which are blended are not always of 1 category only. The dyes on the recycled yarn, would bleed more than the virgin fabrics. The cost of recycling the yarn currently is more expensive than using standard virgin cotton growth.
Washcare:
Recycled Yarn products should be washed only as cold wash.
Please keep dark colours separate form lights, as the dark colours will tend to bleed
