iinouiio
Founded by Dr John Parkinson, who has a rich history in the 'shoddy and mungo' textile recycling industry, iinouiio is an acronym for It Is Never Over Until It Is Over. Pronounced ‘in-oo-e-o’, the company is reimagining the art of shoddy manufacturing for the modern-day sustainable age.
With more than 40 years’ experience, the business supports interior furnishing, fashion and textile businesses to make textile-to-textile recycling a reality.
“Waste isn’t really waste. It’s a valuable raw material, just limited by our imagination and our skills.”
Dr John Parkinson
iinouiio transforms unwanted fabrics into new products through a simple 5 step process:
-
- Establish the aims of the recycling project.
- Check that recycling is suitable with a small sample.
- Discuss recycling opportunities and possibilities.
- Develop a prototype.
- iinouiio to propose a custom recycled yarn specification.
The initial development phase usually takes 4-6 weeks.
To proceed with production, a run of yarn (minimum approx. 240 kgs output with a minimum 150kg waste required) takes around 10 weeks. A further 8-10 weeks is required to produce woven cloth.
Photographs and videos can be captured during the research and development phase to aid with marketing, education and information purposes.
