Unique recycling concept

TAUKO cooperates with textile rental companies in Finland and Germany. Rental textiles are made to withstand extreme hard wear and tear, even when they are obsolete, they still have a long way to go as new clothing.  TAUKO gives this high-quality and durable material a new purpose and at the same time contributes to reducing the production of new material and the generation of textile waste. TAUKO collects and reuses thousands of pounds of textiles each year that would otherwise be recycled for the needs of the construction industry or incinerated for energy.

Dresses made of recycled material. The most common material is a cotton blend.

The rental textiles are mainly cotton blend or cotton. In addition to recycled textiles TAUKOThe N collection includes a surplus leotard, as well as a cup.

Manufacturing
