recycled fabric
Secondhand cloth material
Recycled fabric is textile material made from reclaimed fibers—post-consumer waste like plastic bottles or discarded clothing, or pre-consumer scraps from manufacturing.
The term appears frequently in sustainable fashion and eco-friendly product marketing: This jacket is made from recycled fabric.
The recycling process typically involves breaking down source materials and respinning them into new yarn.
