WearAutoWaste
Textiles/CorporateWear made from end of life tires
WearAutoWaste by Reparell is a sustainable textile product made from recycled car tires, transformed into Polyamide 6.6 yarn. It’s designed for environmentally conscious companies and consumers focused on sustainable practices. The product is innovative and sustainable because it turns automotive waste into a valuable resource, reducing landfill waste and reliance on virgin materials.
