Feature: How Our End-of-Life Clothing Protects Our Buildings!
Did you know that the used clothing you discard or deposit at a collection point can avoid the landfill and become an insulation solution for our buildings?
Last November, the Dagobaire team welcomed the cameras of Réel Média to our factory. The objective of this report? To concretely demonstrate how we transform what was destined to become waste into an ecological and protective resource for our interiors.
Giving a Second Life to End-of-Life Textiles
Every year, mountains of used or damaged clothing end up in the trash, incinerated, or buried. To avoid this environmental waste, local solutions exist. Thanks to the support of the eco-organization Refashion, we collect these end-of-life textiles to give them a second purpose. We shred them into fibers that are then transformed: either into new technical yarns at UTT Yarns, or into thermal and acoustic insulation solutions at Dagobaire. This is a true circular economy approach.
A Complete Range of Eco-Designed and Healthy Insulators
This report is a wonderful opportunity to open the doors of our production to you. You will discover how we process these fibers from textile recycling to manufacture all our insulation solutions.
Beyond their environmental aspect, our insulators stand out for their technical properties and ease of handling on site:
● Maximum waste reduction: We divert tons of textiles from landfills every year
● High performance: Effective and durable insulation that protects against cold in winter and heat in summer
● Unique installation comfort: Healthy, soft-to-handle materials that do not irritate artisans on site
Seeing this virtuous circle captured by Réel Média highlights the work of our entire team and our partners. Together, we prove that the synergy between industry and recycling allows us to build cleaner and more efficient solutions.
