Another recycling investment for Mango
Following the announcement of a new partnership with waste-to-fibre developer Circulose in mid-June, fashion group Mango has now invested in The Post Fiber.
Based in Sabadell in Catalonia, The Post Fiber launched last year to put a textile-to-textile recycling operation in place. ModaRe, a take-back programme run by charity organisation Caritas, textile manufacturer Textil Santanderina, garment producer Hallotex and machinery developer Margasa set up The Post Fiber together.
Mango said it was the first major brand to invest in the start-up, saying the move “reaffirms our commitment to circularity in the textile industry”.
It said its aim was to integrate recycled materials into its collections and promote “more responsible and collaborative practices in the sector”.
It has launched a limited-edition capsule collection in its Mango Teen range incorporating post-consumer recycled fibres. This comprises T-shirts and sweatshirts with around 80% recycled content. Of this recycled content, 15% comes from The Post Fiber.
