Chinese seamless-garment specialist UTO has worked with Suedwolle Group and The LYCRA Company on an activewear concept using textile-to-textile recycled polyester. The partners describe the development on Suedwolle's Südwebs platform.
Fibre, yarn and garment
Suedwolle combines ultrafine Merino wool, COOLMAX EcoMade fibre and a fine polyamide filament in the yarn. The project page says the COOLMAX component is made from textile waste and contributes moisture-management and quick-drying functions.
UTO translates the yarn into seamless garments for base-layer, yoga, tennis and golf applications. This links fibre selection with garment construction rather than treating recycled content as a separate design feature.
What the recycled claim covers
The textile-waste feedstock claim applies to the COOLMAX fibre component. It does not mean the entire blended yarn or finished garment is fully recycled.
The reviewed materials give no complete blend percentages or independently verified garment-level environmental comparison.
