The dutch innovator Sympany mechanically shreds textile waste collected from the garment industry resulting in fibers ready to be recycled back into the supply chain. It is then expertly spun into yarn, then into thread, which is finally setup on handlooms to manually weave yardage of fabric. The handlooms on which the Land Healer is woven requires no electricity and is therefore non-polluting.
