Dr John Parkinson, founder of iinouiio

Founded by Dr John Parkinson, who has a rich history in the 'shoddy and mungo' textile recycling industry, iinouiio, part of the Camira Group, 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. Using advanced reprocessing machinery, fabric is converted into its raw fibre form and then carded, spun and woven into new products.

 

We’d love to discuss your individual recycling requirements so get in touch or read on to find out more.

“Waste isn’t really waste. It’s a valuable raw material, just limited by our imagination and our skills.”

Dr John Parkinson

iinouiio transforms fashion, interior furnishing and other textile businesses's unwanted fabrics into new products through a simple 5 step process:

 

      1. An online or in person meeting to establish the aims of the recycling project.
      2. Check that recycling is suitable with a small sample (approx. 1kg of waste).
      3. A second discussion to explore in detail recycling opportunities and possibilities.
      4. Use approx. 10kg of waste to move closer to desired outcome and develop yarn prototypes. 
      5. iinouiio is now able to propose a custom recycled yarn specification, informed by trials, with prices and lead times for small-scale industrial production.

This inital development phase usually takes around 4 - 6 weeks and the arrangement is always for the creator of the waste to buy it back from iinouiio in its recycled and re-spun format, offering true textile circularity.

 

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.
