Coats EcoVerde is the first globally available 100% recycled line of premium corespun and textured sewing threads, delivering the same proven level of performance as the industry’s leading non-recycled threads. EcoVerde threads help complete the loop for garments and accessories that already use recycled polyester fabrics or other eco-friendly fabrics or materials.
Waste plastic is collected from various industrial and post-consumer sources. Used plastic (PET) bottles are a significant proportion and an example of how this works. These are collected, sorted, cleaned, ground to flakes and then melted down and extruded into the fibre and filaments from which EcoVerde sewing threads are made.
As part of Coats Eco-journey towards a circular future, EcoVerde is complemented by other solutions in the range such as EcoRegen (100% Lyocell, 100% biodegradable), Eco-B powered by CiCLO additive technology (reduces microfibre plastic pollution) and EcoCycle (facilitates end of life garment recycling)
