HANMOU-Method of recycle material

Our motto is to be better for the environment than waste.
We purchase currently discarded products and textile materials as raw materials for recycled products.
shoichi brings it back to life through recycling, reducing disposal costs to zero.
shoichi sorts and disassembles the items himself, checks the brand name, etc., and cuts them.
Products to be disposed of and uncut fabric leftover from the production process are sorted by color, secondary materials are also removed and processed into cotton.
The threads and fabrics are made in an environmentally friendly manner, using a technique known as "HANMOU", which is used to make yarn into cotton and then spun into yarn.
Since the yarn is not dyed, water and heat are reduced during the processing stage.
