Steps for 
what revolves around reeco™?
Flax requires a cool and relatively humid climate. It is a rainfed crop that generally doesn’t require irrigation and is mainly treated with mechanical processes. Flax generally requires about 700 mm of annual rainfall, preferably well distributed throughout the 100 days and the retting process.
Reeco linen has at least 20% of certified recycled content from preconsumer waste.
Linen fully traceable.
All flax by-products are used so waste is minimal. The seeds are sold for sowing or used in oils, varnishes, cosmetics, etc. The shive (woody matter left over from the stalk after the fiber is removed) are used as soil amendments for gardening and horse beds, and the shorter fibers are used to produce blends with other fibers or in paper production and insulation
Is an ethical decision
Greenhouse gas emissions are essentially linked to chemical inputs and to the consumption of electricity and heat produced by fossil energy sources. Both are low for the preparation of flax fibers.
Flax growing requires little or no pesticides or fertilizers. Even though these chemical applications can be required, the quantities are much lower than those used for conventional cotton production. Flax is susceptible to competition by weeds in its early phase, so good weed control (through mechanical or chemical means) is essential. Once the crop reaches 12-15 centimeters, the high plant density provides good soil cover,and weeds have difficulty in establishing themselves.
The recycled linen is from pre-consumer scraps, no virgin material used

WHAT THE REECO™ TAG MEANS ON A LINEN GARMENT?
WHAT THE REECO™ TAG MEANS ON A LINEN GARMENT?
MADE OF 100% LINEN
Linen is a natural fiber made from the flax plant, accounting for only 1% of global fashion materials.(1)
Environment make every crop different so the color and texture of the linen fiber grown in the same land changes every year. The majority of linen production (80%) takes place in Europe and requires no irrigation beyond natural rainfall.(2)
Moreover, it is produced with minimal use of chemicals, leaving no harmful toxins in soil or water.(3)
Additionally, growing flax in Europe results in the capture of 250,000 tons of CO2 annually, contributing to carbon sequestration.(4)
Linen is also known for its antibacterial properties and durability, with historical use in boat ropes serving as a testament to its strength. Choosing garments made of linen can help reduce waste and promote sustainable fashion practices.

MADE OF 100% LINEN WITH RECYCLED CONTENT
Recycling is an environmentally responsible choice that demonstrates respect for our planet and helps to reduce waste in the garment’s end-of-life phase.(6) In essence, recycled materials for garments come from two sources: pre-consumer materials and post-consumer materials. Pre-consumer materials are materials that are reclaimed from the waste stream during the manufacturing process,(6) while post-consumer materials are generated by households or commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities that can no longer use the product for its intended purpose. This can include product returns from the distribution chain.(6)
Linen can be recycled using pre-consumer materials, such as the leftover scraps and production waste that account for approximately 5% of the material . (7)
No emission produced from the recycled fiber since came from pre-consumer waste
The recycled linen is from pre-consumer scraps, no virgin material used
No chemical are used since process of recycle is mechanical
No water needed in the process of recycled line because the mechanical process is on dry enviroment.
