Recycled cotton comes from post-consumer textile waste, such as discarded clothing, or from post-industrial waste generated during the manufacturing process. These materials are collected, sorted, and processed to separate the cotton fibers, which are then cleaned and re-spun into new yarns. This process reduces the need for virgin cotton and minimizes environmental impact by diverting waste from landfills. Recycled cotton is often blended with other fibers to enhance its properties and usability in new textile products.
