Yes! We finally get to share it with you. A few months ago, the crew of #PatsBoemKledder! visited our factory. Now it's finally here! Toddlers in the Netherlands (and you too) can enjoy watching how we turn old textiles into new yarns and products. The broadcast will be on Monday morning, June 24 at 07:45 at NTR on NPO Zappelin.

We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with G-Star RAW to produce a one-of-a kind Dutch Cotton denim jeans!👖🌱 A unique production process where we collaborated with Dutch partners to realize this innovation. From field to fabric, every step of the cotton production process happened right here in the Netherlands. After harvesting at Wageningen University & Research , a small batch of Dutch Cotton with a unique fiber quality was delivered at our spinning mill in Nijverdal. Our dedicated team processed this batch into a 100% Dutch Cotton yarn.🧵🇳🇱 A real challenge considering the quantities. In the end, we produced around 12 KGs of yarn. This was quite the challenge and an ultimate test of craftsmanship. With our state-of-the-art machinery and our dedicated team of experts, we made it happen. An impressive high-quality 100% Dutch Cotton yarn! The yarn was then plied at Artofil in Brabant and woven by Enschede Textielstad in Enschede. The result? A beautiful and unique pair of denim made entirely from Dutch Cotton. Want to know more about this impressive innovation? Visit gstar.com/homegrown-denim

I'm excited to announce our latest breakthrough in revolutionizing cotton cultivation and localizing the global denim supply chain: Greenhouse-Grown Cotton. Being deeply involved in every step of this journey - from sowing, flowering, and boll development to harvest and production - has been incredibly rewarding. Witnessing the entire process firsthand has enhanced my appreciation for cotton and the beauty of nature's cycles. What makes greenhouse cultivation truly special is the possibility to cultivate in a controlled environment. This method offers great potential to reduce the impact on land and water use while supporting biodiversity. There's something truly captivating about cotton, but our goal went beyond simply growing it. We aimed to transform the cotton into a pair of jeans within a local supply chain. We successfully completed the entire process—ginning, spinning, weaving, sewing, dyeing, and finishing in the Netherlands. This achievement would not have been possible without the support of the G-Star RAW team, Filip van Noort (Wageningen University & Research), Victor Sandberg (Dutch Cotton), Paula Gerritsen, Liset Pander (Spinning Jenny) , Annemieke Koster (Enschede Textielstad) and Celia Geraedts (Blueprint Amsterdam. Thank you for your true dedication and support in making this vision a reality. Also looking forward to the next steps and collaboration with Robert Duijvestijn (Coöperatie Inno Growers U.A.) and Joyce Rasquin (Grodan). It has been truly amazing to work with so many talented people. This industry is built on a foundation of knowledge, passion and dedication. We must dare to be bold and believe in our ability to transform - Together we can make a difference.

Na Renewcell, weer een circulaire onderneming failliet gegaan, dit is heel erg jammer en toch blijven wij geloven in de kansen voor een circulaire economie in textiel, mijn oproep aan ons netwerk is; stop met praten en zet stappen! Alleen samen kunnen we verder komen. Het is niet gecompliceerd, soms moet je gewoon doen, omdat het kan en omdat we allemaal verantwoordelijk dragen voor onze toekomstige generaties.

Happy to be part of the TEXPOWER consortium. ♻️👕
