ReSpiin Materials

From the start ReSpiin has been all about finding the best recycled and renewable materials and making them into beautiful products for those wanting to live a more sustainable lifestyle.

Read on to learn more about the materials we use and how these are better for our planet.

Recycled Wool

Used wool fabrics are collected in recycling banks around the world. They are sorted into colour, broken down into fibres, spun into yarn and then woven into fabric.

Jute

Jute plants are easy to grow with little need for fertilisers or pesticides and have a high yield per acre.

They absorb more CO2 than trees so are good for the air, and are enriching for the soil.

Upcycled Saris

Old saris are sold by households to pedlars, who sell the saris onto companies who usually recycle them. Instead we reuse the saris, weaving them together with sustainable seagrass to make a beautiful, one of a kind basket.

Recycled Cement Sacks

Used cement sacks are cleaned, shredded, melted down and then made into fine fibres. The fibres are dyed (with azo free dyes) then woven into fabric. The fabric is a durable recycled plastic.

Seagrass

Seagrasses grow very quickly in shallow saltwater along coastlines and rivers.

Once mature the grasses are cut by hand and dried in the sun, then hand twisted and woven.

The dried seagrass is durable and moisture-resistant.
