Fiber 101:
The Materials We Reclaim
Cashmere
Prized for its unmatched softness and warmth, cashmere comes from the fine undercoat of cashmere goats. Our shredding technology reclaims these delicate fibers, preserving their value for reuse in luxury, sustainable textiles.
Fun Fact: It can take the fleece of two to three goats to produce enough cashmere for a single sweater, making fiber recovery especially important for reducing waste.
Cotton
Soft, breathable and widely used around the world, cotton makes up nearly a quarter of all textile production.
Fun Fact: It takes about 2,700 liters of water to produce enough cotton for a single T-shirt, making fiber reclamation critical for sustainability.
Denim
Fun Fact: The average pair of jeans contains about 1 pound of cotton, so reclaiming denim helps reduce significant textile waste.
Rayon
Fun Fact: Rayon was the first synthetic fiber developed to mimic natural fibers like silk, helping make luxury fabrics more accessible.
Silk
Fun Fact: Silk is stronger than steel of the same thickness, which is why it has been prized for garments and ropes for thousands of years.
Wool
Fun Fact: Wool fibers can bend more than 20,000 times without breaking, giving them remarkable durability compared to cotton, which breaks after about 3,000 bends.

Fun Fact: It takes about 2,700 liters of water to produce enough cotton for a single T-shirt, making fiber reclamation critical for sustainability.
Denim
Durable and iconic, denim is most often made from tightly woven cotton.
Fun Fact: The average pair of jeans contains about 1 pound of cotton, so reclaiming denim helps reduce significant textile waste.
Rayon
A versatile, semi-synthetic fiber made from cellulose, rayon has been popular for more than a century.
Fun Fact: Rayon was the first synthetic fiber developed to mimic natural fibers like silk, helping make luxury fabrics more accessible.
Silk
Known for its lustrous sheen and incredible strength, silk is one of the oldest fibers in human history.
Fun Fact: Silk is stronger than steel of the same thickness, which is why it has been prized for garments and ropes for thousands of years.
Wool
A natural fiber with incredible resilience, wool is warm, breathable and renewable.
Fun Fact: Wool fibers can bend more than 20,000 times without breaking, giving them remarkable durability compared to cotton, which breaks after about 3,000 bends.
