Recycled Denim

Reet Aus is an environmental activist and fashion designer who has successfully redefined the mass production of the fashion industry, looking for ways to create products without compromising on the environment. The products of the Reet Aus brand are made from industrial waste. Such an approach requires the application of new technologies and a large network of cooperation.

In collaboration with the Re­Use Center and the company Wolkat, a product has been developed that utilizes the reprocessed postconsumer denim. Post­consumer denim is crushed into fiber and the fiber has been turned into yarn. Mechanical reprocessing allows to bring the natural fibers back to recycling. Since there are no large­scale solutions for textile waste, this is necessary material re­creation.
