Our project is to develop a range of artists papers made from 100% textile waste.By combining our deep understanding of the craft of papermaking by hand with the latest fibre processing machinery, we will create a series of papers that are both more sustainable and of superior quality to anything currently available on the market.This will create a new way to sustainably recycle textile waste direct from rag. The most popular form of textile recycling currently is fibre to fibre recycling which involves chemically intensive processing to turn the fibres into cotton pulp ready for reuse. By working directly from rags, we avoid this step entirely.We have developed this process already at lab scale, creating papers made from linen, cotton and denim textile waste. Rags were the predominant papermaking fibre used for centuries, right up until the industrialisation of the process in the 19th century. By refining this process for the 21st century, we hope to offer an alternative papermaking fibre to virgin cotton pulp, the most popular fibre for use in premium papers, and which uses vast amounts of water and agrochemicals in its production.

我们的项目是开发一系列由100%纺织废料制成的艺术家纸。通过将我们对手工造纸工艺的深刻理解与最新的纤维加工机械相结合，我们将创造出一系列比市场上现有的任何纸张都更可持续且质量更高的纸张。这将创造一种可持续地回收直接来自碎布的纺织废料的新方法。目前最流行的纺织品回收形式是纤维到纤维的回收，这涉及到化学密集型加工，将纤维转化为棉浆，准备再利用。通过直接使用碎布，我们完全避免了这一步骤。我们已经在实验室规模开发了这一过程，用亚麻、棉花和牛仔纺织废料制造纸张。碎布是几个世纪以来使用的主要造纸纤维，直到19世纪这一过程的工业化。通过为21世纪改进这一工艺，我们希望提供一种替代初榨棉浆的造纸纤维，初榨棉浆是用于优质纸张的最受欢迎的纤维，在生产过程中使用大量的水和农用化学品。
