Flat weave backing

Flat weave process

1. WARP

This process consists of winding the threads around an industrial bobbin.

2. FLAT WEAVE

This fabric is created by intertwining two or more threads, so that they can intersect at right angles. In the case of RECOS, the warp is made of 100% recycled polyester and, the weft, of polyester and 100% recycled cotton.

3. BRUSH

The surface of the fabric is modified by breaking the fibers of the yarns. The resulting plush finish adds volume and softness to the material, improving the technical features of the final product.

WHERE DOES OUR COTTON COME FROM?

One of the yarns we use in the backing of RECOS® is made of recycled, postindustrial cotton fibers.

These yarns allow us to reduce four times the product’s CO2 footprint, compared with conventional yarn, saving 110,000 liters of water per kilo of yarn.

No harmful substances such as insecticides and chemical fertilizers are generated during the production process. In terms of land use, our yarns need 0.08 square meters, as opposed to 4.8 m2 in the case of conventional yarn.

Our engineers have managed to streamline our processes, saving of up to 66.66% of electric energy.

OUR RECYCLED YARNS ARE CERTIFIED WITH GRS AND ALL THE TEXTILES WE PRODUCE ARE CERTIFIED WITH OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.
