The Complete Guide to Working with a Recycled Yarn Knitwear Factory

A few years ago, one of our clients sent us a photo. It was a sweater label that read, “Made from recycled yarn.” Under it was a simple message:
“Customers are choosing us because of this.”

That moment stuck with us.

Today, people don’t just buy clothes—they buy values. They want to feel good about what they wear. And that’s where recycled yarn knitwear comes in.

At AZ Knit, located in
No1~3, 1st FL, 6th Street, Xincun, Changping Zhen, Dongguan, GuangDong, CHINA,
we help brands turn sustainability into something real, wearable, and beautiful.

Let’s walk through what it really means to work with a recycled yarn knitwear factory, why it matters, and how AZ Knit makes the process smooth and successful.

What Is Recycled Yarn Knitwear?

Recycled yarn is made from materials like:
• Recycled plastic bottles (rPET)
• Textile waste
• Old garments and fabric scraps

These materials are cleaned, processed, spun into new yarn, and then knitted into fresh, high-quality garments.

The result? Knitwear that looks new, feels great, and reduces environmental impact.

recycled yarn knitwear factory like AZ Knit turns waste into wearable value.

Why This Matters More Than Ever

The fashion industry is one of the biggest polluters in the world. Customers know this—and they care.

Choosing recycled yarn helps:
Reduce landfill waste
Save water and energy
Lower carbon emissions
Support responsible production

For brands, it’s also a powerful story. Sustainability isn’t just a trend anymore—it’s an expectation.

Common Problems Brands Face

Switching to recycled yarn sounds great, but many brands run into challenges:

Unclear Yarn Quality – Some recycled yarns feel stiff or inconsistent.
Limited Color Options – Recycled fibers can be harder to dye evenly.
Higher Costs – Eco-friendly doesn’t always mean budget-friendly.
Greenwashing Risks – No proof of real sustainability.
Design Limitations – Some factories lack experience with recycled yarn.

That’s where choosing the right partner matters.
