- From banknotes to textilesThe estimated lifetime of a banknote is around three years, after which polymer-based ones are recycled, and cotton-based ones are incinerated.

Its green colour comes from the original colour of used banknotes.
- Post-consumer recycled denimPerhaps even your old jeans. Discarded jeans are sorted carefully, then shredded into small strips while a big magnet takes out all the metal parts. To make the yarn strong enough for weaving purposes the recycled jeans fibres are mixed with another material, in this case organic cotton (light and medium blue) and recycled PET bottles (the darkest grey tone). On display are a twill fabric and two Enschede Textielstad X SOETEKOUW weaving patterns: the Base and Forza pattern from the ‘Surprise!’ upholstery collection.
