You are probably wondering where the reused cotton comes from. Well, in simple terms, when processing raw cotton into yarn, for every hundred kilos of cotton, approximately 10% of the cotton is lost in the process. We collect the cotton lost and addi t back into the spinning process. This reused cotton is fully traced, documented and audited.
The recycled polyester uses certified recycled polyester as a raw material: the same material used in clear plastic bottles. Alternatively it can come from other certified waste.
The plastic bottles or other certified waste is collected, sorted, stripped of labels and caps and cleaned. This material is then ground into plastic pellets that can then be respun into new fiber filaments.

The recycled polyester fibers are then blended with the reused cotton and woven into Re-Used fabric.
HYPERFLEX RE-USED
Thanks to the partnership with ISKO, Replay further reinforces its focus on sustainability with the introduction of Hyperflex Re-Used, in compliance with the most stringent internationally-recognized eco-friendly standards.
With this product, Replay takes new steps towards a broad and consistent project approach that impacts all stages of the production process.
The name itself is suggestive: Hyperflex Re-Used is made – or rather, remade – from eco-friendly raw materials, a mix of reused or recycled materials. This blend of reused cotton and recycled polyester makes Hyperflex Re-Used a double green denim!
The winning idea consists of recovering waste cotton fibers from lost from the ordinary spinning processes. This loss makes up around 10% of the virgin cotton: a significant quantity that, thanks to Hyperflex Re-Used, is included in a new production cycle, thus creating regenerated CCS-certified cotton.
The recycled polyester is created instead from reused PET from plastic bottles or other certified waste. For this project, Replay has once again leveraged from the experience of ISKO, world leader in denim production. The goal was to create a unique product making a further step into the sustainability cycle that would reconfirm Replay and ISKO as innovators in the sector.
