The textile chain begins with the production or collection of raw fibers. The main environmental problem of the textile sector is the abundant consumption of water, atmospheric emissions, solid waste and bad odors. Also wastewater with its chemical load.

Hilaturas Arnau, concerned about environmental sustainability, has launched on the market a complete range of yarns and fabrics made from 100% recycled materials from the production process or rejection intended to cover the demand that it exists for socially and environmentally responsible products.

The advantages of using recycled fibers are summarized in:

-   Savings in  drinking water, 95% with recycled fibers
-   Savings in the production of raw materials and in their dyed, this also implies
-   Less impact on ecosystems and their natural resources, 90% CO2 emission and reuse of waste to manufacture new products
-   Saving of time and money, by not having to import from Asia the textiles consumed in Europe, reducing the carbon footprint.
-   Clean and sustainable waste disposal.

Why use recycled materials?

To achieve environmental sustainability, it is necessary:

•  Reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources such as oil, reduce energy consumption, reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills, fields or the sea.
•  Reuse to counteract the use and throw effect.
•  Recycle materials to give them a new value, a new life.
