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.

  1. Made from recycled fabric.
  2. It can be recycled again after use. become dough.
  3. circulate within the country.
  4. 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%.
