Rescue textile® is one of the most ecological fabric choices in the market. It is textile industry’s surplus, in other words: waste. Rescue fabric is a resource-wise choice, since it is clean and unused material that might have otherwise ended up being burned. It is un-processed and therefore more energy efficient than recycled fibers.
