Albert Yarn 

Avery Dennison’s Albert Yarn reimagines textile waste as a resource with great potential and is a prime example of the circular economy – showcasing how the unwanted can be transformed into the useful and desirable.

Albert Yarn is 100% polyester, with a natural touch and feel. It was created at Avery Dennison’s renowned Collitex site in Italy for use across a core range of woven products. No chemical processes are used in the production of the raw material and it is completely traceable within the recycling chain. Repurposing pre-consumer production waste not only saves water and energy, but also eliminates the disposal process and any resulting emissions.

 

 

 

 

Avery Dennison textile engineers are passionate about innovating with new yarns and combinations that are bespoke for our customers, to achieve the best possible results. For the latest release from our partnership with unisex footwear brand Primury, we collaborated on the design and development of a dynamic Component Weave™ fabric made with Albert Yarn, reflecting the playfully simple approach of the Primury team.

Reusing our own waste to give it new life allows us to recycle more and work towards landfill-free operations.
