About our Tee’s:
Anvil's recycled fabric t-shirt line is made from pre-consumer fibers and clippings that are collected after the cut and sew process, sorted by color, blended, spun and knit into new fabric. There are numerous benefits to recycling discarded fabric cuttings to make new t-shirts, including:
The discarded fabric is not sent to a landfill as waste.
The recycled fabric made from pre-consumer cuttings requires no new dying, saving energy, water and other manufacturing resources.
No land use, no water intensive irrigation, no fertilizers or pesticides as are used in growing new cotton
Step 1 Textile waste or clippings are collected from several pre-consumer venues, primarily apparel.
Step 2 Clippings are sorted by color and chopped into a fine linty material called “shoddy.”
Step 3 Shoddy is then spun into a yarn that is used to produce fabric.
Step 4 The fabric is used to produce Anvil®Recycled tees
