Textiles with recycled yarn with wicking properties are an innovative and sustainable solution for activewear, sportswear, and everyday clothing that combines eco-friendliness with functional performance.

Key Features:

Recycled Yarn Base:

Made from post-consumer waste (e.g., PET bottles) or post-industrial textile scraps.

Examples: Recycled polyester (rPET), recycled nylon, recycled cotton blends.

Reduces landfill waste and carbon emissions compared to virgin fibers.

Moisture-Wicking Capability:

Special treatment or fiber structure that draws moisture (sweat) away from the skin to the outer fabric layer where it can evaporate.

Keeps the wearer dry, cool, and comfortable, especially during physical activities.

Applications:

Activewear (leggings, sports bras, performance shirts)

Outdoor and hiking gear

Casual and athleisure apparel

Uniforms and corporate wear for high-activity jobs

Fabric Technologies:

Wicking achieved through:

Fiber cross-section shape (e.g., multi-channeled or grooved fibers)

Hydrophilic or hydrophobic coatings

Mechanical texturing to increase surface area

Popular Blends:

Recycled polyester with spandex for stretch and fit

Recycled poly-cotton blends with added performance finishes

Nylon blends for durability and abrasion resistance
