Circulating WOOLBAG
We say "SDGs" and "sustainable", but what is really super ecological?
That is the reason for creating a “circulating wool bag”.
Our answer is wool bags.
- Made from recycled fabric.
- It can be recycled again after use. become dough.
- circulate within the country.
- It is a natural fiber.
Wool (wool) is a very good thing!
- long lasting.
- It has good moisture absorption, so it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
- It has good dyeability, so it can be dyed colorfully without using chemicals. Not easy to fade.
- It has elasticity, so even if it gets wrinkled, it will return when steam is applied.
- Non-flammable, low thermal conductivity.
- It keeps out dirt and odors.
Round and round circulation, the power of wool!
A mechanism that does not become garbage!
- It can be recycled, so there is no waste problem.
- Because it is a natural fiber, it is free from the problem of microplastics.
- It has an antibacterial effect and reduces the number of washings.
How environmentally friendly is recycling?
<When raising>
- The number of sheep raised in the world is about 1.1 billion.
- Requires large amounts of food and water.
- Burping sheep emits methane gas.
- Methane gas has a global warming effect more than 20 times that of carbon dioxide.
- Livestock (cattle, sheep, etc.) emit 1.5 trillion liters of methane per day.
→ Virgin wool has an environmental burden when raising sheep. By using recycled wool, you can reduce the burden on the environment.
<When making thread or fabric>
- After shearing, the wool is full of grease and dirt.
- The amount of carbon dioxide emitted in the manufacturing process is number one. (* Carbon dioxide emissions per garment: 1st place wool 23.4kg, 2nd place acrylic 19.8kg, 3rd place viscose 16kg, 4th place cotton 14.9kg)
- staining
→ Recycled wool reduces the amount of carbon dioxide emitted in the manufacturing process by about 80%.
Manufacturing process of recycled wool
In Bishu, each process is packed with over 50 years of history, craftsmanship, commitment and passion.
- Collect old clothes and wool fiber waste
- sort by hand
- Reclaimed wool (processed by machine to return to the raw state)
- to spin (to make thread)
- weave (make into fabric)
Domestic circulation, the power of Japan!
