Why buy a Pure Waste T’s?
Pure Waste T-shirts are made of 100% recycled textile waste. The textile waste used in the T-shirts is collected from the cloth manufacturing process (cutting, spinning, weawing, ect.), where 15% of the fabric goes to waste. At the moment a big part of this waste ends up in landfills.
Cultivating cotton is one of the most enviromentally hazardous things happening at the moment.
Cotton is a thirsty crop. Producing 1 kg of cotton fiber requires over 11 000 litres of fresh water. Growing cotton is the reason why Aral lake, once 4th largest lake in the world, has dried up almost completely.
Cotton is a toxic crop. Occupying 2.5% of agricultural land area (the land area equivalent to Turkey), it uses 7% of the total amount of pesticides used in farming globally each year and 16% of all insecticides.
We want to change this and turn the good quality, clean and ready material back into high quality products, like the Pure Waste T-shirt.
Pure Waste T-shirts are completely waterless.
Pure Waste T-shirts don’t need any water, because they are made 100% from recycled textile waste. Normal T-shirt needs 200 grams of fresh cotton and producing this amount requires 2700 litres of water.
Pure Waste T-shirts doesn’t require any dyeing or coloring.
The color of Pure Waste T-shirts comes from the used waste. This prevents over 23 litres of toxic waste water generated from dyeing a T-shirt.
