| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Composition | Ask for fibre type, recycled content percentage if published, and whether content is pre- or post-consumer. |
| Mass / construction | Weight still follows construction. |
| Care | Care follows the fibre family. |
| Sample | Read the claim scope. Sample colour and pilling as you would for virgin fibre. |
| Common miss | Using recycled as a substitute for a full specification. |
Does every recycled fabric listing mean the same cloth?
No. Recycled fabric is made with some recycled input. The page should say what was recycled and how much. Ask for fibre type, recycled content percentage if published, and whether content is pre- or post-consumer.
Can you skip sampling recycled fabric?
Read the claim scope. Sample colour and pilling as you would for virgin fibre.
What should stay on the brief besides the keyword recycled fabric?
Fibre, recycled content, construction, weight, and ordinary quality tests. Using recycled as a substitute for a full specification.
