Impact
We dream about a world in which natural resources are in balance. Therefore, we want to make the global textiles network circular. In reality, that’s a long way to go. What’s more, there is no one size fits all solution to make textiles circular. But we know the final destination of our journey.

savings
How are CO2 emission savings calculated?
CO2 is saved because there is no need to grow and harvest fresh cotton. This saves a signifi cant amount of emissions produced by machines used on cotton farms. Savings are calculated in kilograms of CO2 that are no longer emitted into the atmosphere.
How are water savings calculated?
Growing cotton plants requires huge amounts of water. By using cotton waste, this water can be saved. These savings are calculated as the amount water (liters) that are no longer needed and can be used for other purposes.
How are land savings calculated?
By using cotton waste, there is no need to grow fresh cotton as a raw material for new textiles. Savings are calculated as the number of square meters (m2) of land that can now be used for other crops.
