A recycling project promoted by Lurdes Sampaio, at the service of brands to respond to environmental issues, considering the principles of the circular economy and focusing on the importance of recycling in the textile universe.

Rfiveproject® support and share the traceability to our clients throughout all process, as:

  • collecting waist;
  • recycling;
  • spinning;
  • knitting;
  • manufacture.

All chain information is provided to achieve a truly circular fashion process.

The process is supported with GRS certification and LCA methodology. The partnership with Recutex, a recycling Portuguese company and FIAVIT, a spinning Portuguese company turns this project an “all made in Portugal circular economy.” It´s a closed loop.

We collect pre- and post-consumer waste from the brands and manufacturers. Then, we transform it them according to the needs of the brand in a new fiber, new yarn, new fabric, new cloths. The eco-design starts here!

The environment savings were tested by LCA methodology.
