What Is the Cost Impact of Recycled Versus Virgin Activewear Yarn?

Recycled yarn pricing varies with source, certification requirements, specifications, and market availability.

A useful comparison fixes the same garment specification, quantity mix, and commercial scope. Fabric, sewing, decoration, packaging, and inspection can be included differently, so a lower headline figure may reflect an exclusion rather than a genuine reduction in equivalent manufacturing cost. Compare equivalent fabrics using current supplier quotations.
