About us

Upcycling is our passion.

Together we can close the loop

Upcycling & recycling waste textiles

Amolia is a Danish company founded to help close the loop on the textile industry and contribute to a more sustainable future. We create home textile products made of upcycled textiles and furniture pieces made from recycled textiles.

We collect, manually sort through and cut out all reusable fabric in our warehouse in Holbæk, Denmark, then organize by type and size ready to be sent to our factory in the EU. White fabric is first organically dyed with GOTs certified dyes, whereas coloured fabrics are sewn directly into timeless home textile products. 

REGION HOVEDSTADEN

A collaboration based on circularity

Our cooperation started by collecting and recycling washed, discarded textiles from Copenhagen’s regional laundry house in Denmark. Now we have expanded to included other laundry facilities and private companies. The collected textiles consist of a variety of garments and items; from towels and t-shirts to blankets and bedsheets.

It’s thanks to this collaboration with the Region Hovedstaden (The Capital Region) that we were able to start producing more sustainable textiles and contribute to the transition to a more circular textiles industry.

The Upcycling Process

  • 1. SORTING

    We collect clean discarded textiles from laundry houses in Denmark and manually sort each piece of textile to assess if the quality is still good enough to be recycled and upcycled.

  • 2. CUTTING

    Uniforms, blankets, and sheets are manually cut at our warehouse in Holbæk. It is a time-consuming process, but it ensures that the textile is in good condition. Textile scraps from our own production are recycled into new yarn.

  • 3. DYEING

    If the textile is pre-dyed when we recieve it, we sew it directly into new products, but if it is white, we dye it with organic dyes that are GOTS-certified.

  • 4. SEWING

    We develop our designs in Denmark and sew the initial samples on Danish soil. The final production takes place in the EU, as close to Denmark as possible.

Made in Denmark

Furniture made of pressed recycled textiles.

The solid recycled textile boards used to make our furniture pieces are produced in Denmark using a mix of waste cotton and wool from commercial laundry houses, which would otherwise have been incinerated.
