Recycled fabrics

made from recycled yarns

Discover the objectives of Miranda Recycling

Manufacturer of fabrics and knits

We are a modern manufacturer of high-quality fabrics and knits – from now on also from recycled materials.

We actively participate in pro-environmental activities, helping to protect the environment, preventing the negative impact of our activities by applying the idea of sustainable development.

How do we care for the environment?

Recycled yarn in textiles

Our idea of protecting the environment is to produce fabrics and knits using recycled yarn. In addition, we carry out other projects, which aims to make our employees and the local community aware of recycling and its positive effects.

We believe that together we can do more!

Every day we recover
recycled plastic bottles

Number of bottles recycled into yarn:
To produce 1 m of fabric using recycled yarn, we use 32 bottles weighing approximately 20 g. Think about how many bottles we are able to recycle and contribute to protecting our environment.

RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) certification for fabrics and knits from Miranda Textiles

As a company, we possess an RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) certificate. This is an international voluntary standard that verifies the recycled fibre content of the final product.

The RCS programme includes certification of the entire supply chain. Thus, for a fabric to be sold as certified, certain criteria must be met at each stage of sourcing, processing and marketing the recycled raw material.

This is an extremely important certification for us, as it confirms Miranda Textiles’ real commitment to environment protection, by levelling and converting PET waste into recycled yarn. Every metre of recycled fabrics and knits contributes to reducing the amount of waste on our planet.

Certificate number: CU1134796RCS-2021-00132595

Steps in the production of fabrics and knits from recycled yarns

Segregation of PET waste

1/6
The weaving process involves creating a recycled fabric by interlacing yarns with each other – a longitudinal warp and a transverse weft. The order of the interlacing determines the weave. The final process is to give the fabric its characteristic properties.

Selection and cleaning of PET bottles

2 / 6
Upon arrival at the production line, PET bottles first undergo a thorough selection. They are then thoroughly cleaned, resulting in the removal of all labels and micro-pollutants.

Shredding PET bottles into flakes

3 / 6
The cleaned PET bottles undergo a process of shredding into fine flakes, using high-performance, abrasion-resistant knives. The resulting flakes are furthermore cleaned of the dust that is generated during the shredding process.

Regranulation process

4 / 6
The regranulation process involves remelting previously obtained flakes to form granules. The crushed and cleaned flakes are subjected to thermal treatment at up to 285°C to 300°C. The resulting granulate is ready for the manufacture of recycling yarns.

Manufacture of recycling yarn

5 / 6
The step of making recycled yarn involves stretching the pellets into thin fibres in a spinning machine. The windings are wound very loosely to facilitate a bleaching or dyeing bath. The finishing process allows the prepared yarn to be transferred to the weaving machine.
