At Esquel, we proactively push for sustainable solutions across sourcing, production and packaging with our clients and retail brands. We set our sights on changing industry norms for the better. Why should packaging a shirt routinely require thick shirt boards, endless clips and reams of plastic?  

A fashion supply chain typically consists of very complex business processes. Thousands of suppliers and logistics induced to labor-intensive, poor inventory accuracy, low on-shelf availability and frequent shipping discrepancy issues. 

Recycling cotton in the textiles and apparel industry is a challenging process, as cotton garments are commonly mechanically shredded to lengths too short or uneven for high-quality garments. This is why recycled cotton garments are often downcycled into products like rags or cotton pads. 

Esquel, however, is uniquely positioned to be able to produce a range of quality tees, from 100% recycled cotton through to various recycled cotton and recycled polyester blends.
