Textile Waste Circularity
Giving new life to our clean textile waste through traceable recycling.
Leading sustainable textile recycling in Peru—one fiber at a time.
At Lives, we believe that sustainability doesn’t end at production—it extends to how we manage every leftover fiber. That’s why we’ve developed a structured and traceable process to reuse, recycle, and repurpose our clean textile waste, supporting a circular model and reducing our environmental footprint.
How it works:
We classify our textile waste based on type and potential for reuse:
Fabric leftovers
Redirected to trusted partners for responsible upcycling into new textile products.Inter-cut waste
Repurposed as filling or processed into recycled blankets.Fabric edges
Sent to partners for use as industrial cleaning cloths.Full-cut pieces
Reused internally for the sewing school or repurposed.
