US fashion company Ralph Lauren has joined hands with Italian textile recycler Re-Verso to launch a new recycling programme for 100% cashmere garments.

Beginning in Europe and North America initially, the scheme is open to articles purchased from any one of its own labels or their competitors. Participants are invited to ship their cashmere to Re-Verso’s facility in Prato, Tuscany, where it will be sorted, shredded and processed into regenerated yarns, fabrics or cashmere accessories for use in future collections.
