58% pre-consumer cotton waste blended with recycled synthetic fibre, 37% recycled plastic bottles, and 5% reclaimed elastane - 100% reclaimed inputs. Pre-consumer cotton waste comes from cutting room offcuts generated during conventional garment production: material that would otherwise go to landfill with no commercial recovery value.

About the material
Recycled cotton - reclaimed, not extracted.
Our recycled fabric is made from two inputs: pre-consumer cotton waste from industrial cutting floors and PET scrap from plastic bottles. Ordinarily recycled cotton has a shorter staple length resulting in rougher fabrics. However, at Ecojay, we process them together using a proprietary knitting method - patent pending - which produces thinner yarn and tighter knits resulting in premium softness and durability.
No new cotton was grown to make this garment. No dyes were used to colour it.
What GRS means
Independently verified, not self-declared.
GRS - the Global Recycled Standard - certifies that the recycled content in a product is genuine and traceable. It covers the full chain of custody from reclaimed material through to finished garment, including social and environmental processing requirements at every stage.
Our certification is verified independently by Intertek. The certificate number is available upon request.

Why is recycled cotton difficult to work with?
02
Why is recycled cotton difficult to work with?
Pre-consumer cotton waste yields shorter, inconsistent fibres. Standard yarn-making produces a coarser result that's prone to pilling, breakage, and shrinkage which is why most recycled cotton fabrics feel inferior to virgin cotton. This is the problem EcoJay's manufacturing process was developed to solve.

What makes EcoJay Recycled Polycotton different from other recycled cotton garments?
03
What makes EcoJay Recycled Polycotton different from other recycled cotton garments?
A patent-pending manufacturing process, covering proprietary yarn construction and knitting structure, enables thinner yarn and a tighter knit from recycled cotton fibres. The result matches conventional cotton in softness and durability at commercial scale. This hasn't previously been achieved with 100% reclaimed inputs.

How does the softness hold up after washing?
Our finishing process doesn't use synthetic softener coatings, which means it doesn't wash out. Garments are tested for wash fastness and dimensional stability across repeated machine wash cycles.
