Turning waste into resources

SECOND LIFE PROGRAM

In the era of fast fashion and endless consumerism, the impact of textile waste on the environment is becoming a global concern. An estimated 92 million tonnes of textiles waste is created globally each year. If we do not take action now, the situation will dramatically get worse. For this reason, we at UYN have committed to the 'Second Life' program: reusing pre-consumer textile waste from our manufacturing to create new products.

From waste to product, an artisanal and creative process
DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABILITY
When you use waste fabrics, originally produced for a different purpose, you are presented with many challenges. The creative process is turned upside down. You cannot make the design first and then look for materials, but you have to figure out how you can reuse the materials you already have. This creative process is carried out by our team of designers and pattern makers in our laboratories in Asola (Italy). Their mission is to imagine a second life for fabrics: collect, clean, cut and sew them together. The result is a handcrafted, fine and exclusive product, different from all others because the starting materials are different.
Where our textile leftovers come from
REPURPOSED TEXTILES
We use textiles from our own production chain to make Second Life products. In particular, when we create UYN outerwear, there is a surplus of unused fabrics and accessory parts (such as zips and buttons) left over. Instead of discarding them, we valorise and turn them into new products.
