Recycled performance fabric
- Applicable
- Sportswear and casual clothing with specified recycled content
- Notes
- Request the fibre specification and recycled-content evidence separately from performance tests. Compare the same weight and structure on samples.
Recycled describes the source of the fibre, such as recycled polyester or nylon. Performance comes from fibre, construction and finishing; these are separate specification dimensions.
What to compare in the image
The source identifies this example as a recycled-nylon mesh. It illustrates openings, not a universal recycled texture: recycled fabrics can also be smooth or have other constructions.
Properties and limitations
Compare like fibre, weight and structure before evaluating recycled content and supporting traceability documents. Recycled content alone does not establish breathability, durability or certification.
