REBORN has developed unique eco textiles and processes since 2014. We work holistically and we ensure each process is circular with thought and care put into each stage of development. Our textile production is based on science, social and environmental awareness, and problem solving.

Despite growing public awareness of the problem, the rate at which our society produces plastic waste is not stopping and there is so much already out there. That’s why we believe we need to rethink how we view plastic; a material resource, not just pollution. We are using this material resource to create sustainable fabrics.
Not only is our RPET extremely durable but it is also ideal for clothing applications because we have engineered it to be water repellant, sweat wicking, and stain repellent.

Recycled plastic
The first stage in creating our recycled or sustainable fabrics lies in collecting the plastic. Our plastic is collected from a number of sources including beach cleans, ocean cleans, and post consumer waste from our clients events and venues.
The plastic is sorted and baled before being crushed into thin flakes. The flakes are in turn transformed into granules through a hot air process, they are then dried and projected into high temperature tubes to form a thick liquid.
This paste then passes through a dye filter and ends in a strainer creating filaments. These filaments solidify through their contact with air, they are then drawn on hot metal rollers to realign the polyester molecules perfectly, ready to form our sustainable fabrics.
Produced yarns are used to make the best quality garments for your company or brand using our sustainable fabrics.
Our bamboo t-shirts are made from the softest, most luxurious fabric you will ever touch. It feels amazing on the skin and is more breathable than cotton. It is also hypo-allergenic and antibacterial - which means you can say goodbye to those pesky armpit stains white t-shirts are known for - so your gym sessions and warm summer days will be a breeze.

Bamboo cotton is made from regenerated bamboo fibres. Although it is slightly pricier than cellulose fibres, it is an exceptional fabric to wear due to its natural antimicrobial properties and breathable nature. Bamboo cotton is by far one of our favourite sustainable fabrics.
Since bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on earth, it is one of the most sustainable fabrics or resources to date. It can grow to 119cm in just 24 hours and does not require replanting after harvesting - it simply continues growing in a self-sustaining way.
This incredible plant uses only one-third of the water it would take to make the same amount of organic cotton fabric. Bamboo is also astonishingly resistant and inherently antimicrobial which eliminates the need to use heavy pesticides and fertilisers. This is why bamboo cotton is our first choice. It’s comfortable, it’s hygienic and there’s no sustainable fabric quite as luxurious as bamboo cotton.
Our Recycled Organic Cotton is made from the scraps taken from the cutting room floor. It comes from any excess material produced during the production of yarn, fabrics and textile products, for example selvage from weaving and fabric from factory cutting rooms. The fabric is sorted, cleaned and re-spun into new fibres and fabrics. Recycling one tonne of organic cotton can save 765 cubic metres of water.

Recycled organic cotton is made from manufacturer waste rather than consumer waste. This means that the scraps, waste, and trimmings that ever make it to the customer's hands are given new life and repurposed into something useful, rather than being trashed.
Organic cotton requires a great deal of water and energy to produce, as much as 660 gallons of water, pre-consumer organic recycled cotton requires much less. Even organic cotton can be subject to the vast wastage that goes into garment production, through which up to 20% of fabric is wasted, this pre-consumer approach attempts to correct this issue. By recovering cotton scraps left over from the creation of other products like t-shirts, this model helps to minimise waste and divert products away from landfill sites in the process.
We teamed up with THERMORE® to produce our insulation. The new Ecodown® range is the only synthetic product on the market that is made from 100% post-consumer plastic bottles, making it part of our collection of sustainable fabrics. This allows the reuse of a considerable number of bottles which would otherwise have ended their useful life as waste in a landfill. This is directly in line with our messaging and the outer sustainable fabrics we produce from 100% post-consumer plastic.

THERMORE® ECODOWN® contains 100% recycled fibres from recycled PET bottles. Every jacket REBORN® produces that is insulated with Ecodown, allows recycling of more than 20 PET bottles in its lining.
The general rule says: the thicker and the heavier the padding - the warmer. This is only partly true. A significant influence on the insulation capacity is created by the right choice of fibres. Lower denier fibres are able to catch more air which results in better insulation. The insulation has an incredibly high loft rating of 90/100 making it fantastic in cold temperatures, giving it an impressive fill power of over 600. This makes it the perfect ethical alternative for garment fill.
Outerwear is often subjected to hard use and extreme conditions. In addition to normal wear and tear, this may also require that garments are washed or dry cleaned to restore their original appearance. Thermore® recognises that the ability to withstand these washing/drying cycles and trips to the dry cleaner are of key importance. When it comes to performance, durability equals warmth in both the short term and long term. Our products are thoroughly tested for resistance to machine washing and drying. We expect our products to perform at the same high level over the life of the garment.
Ecodown® has low denier fibres that maximise heat retention. This means that we are able to use lighter insulation and still have superior protection from the cold. Our jackets are 50% lighter than non-ethical down-filled jackets and perform at the same levels. This gives them far superior freedom of movement over any other jackets.
