COMPANY: Aclima is working to reduce our total footprint by making functional products that will be used and last long, we have close communication with the whole supply chain for best possible practise and utilizing our raw materials.

"We know there are FUN FACTS and / or a BACKSTORY! Please share!"
In 2020, Aclima achieved a real breakthrough in recycling wool material in cooperation with two renowned companies from the Italian „fabric capital“ Prato: 100% wool off-cuts from our company‘s own production in Estonia were sorted by color and sent to Prato for processing. Filati Omega processed these scraps into a new yarn, and Pontetorto subsequently wove the material. Several trials were necessary, first with pure wool, then with the addition of recycled polyamide, to find a blend that was robust and functional for both production and the end consumer. The final result is a blend of 70% recycled merino wool and 30% recycled polyamide. The wool is not re-dyed, but the colors result from the combination of the offcuts, the mélange effect is created by the addition of the recycled polyamide. From this material we subsequently make our soft and comfortable ReBorn shirts. The number of shirts produced depends on the amount of material available. In the first production series, we made 7,000 shirts from 6 tons of waste material.
