Fabric and textile rolls ship on cardboard cores that pick up oil and sizing, rendering them unrecyclable – a problem PPWR’s recyclability expectations will not accept silently.
The oily-core dead end
A cardboard core soaked in textile oils is contamination at the recycler, so it is landfilled despite being ‘cardboard’.
Pain: recyclability claims
Brands promoting circular textiles cannot square that claim with cores that never re-enter a stream. PPWR asks for proof of recyclability.

Rulowin fabric reels
Our reusable PP reels resist oil and sizing, and return clean for rewinding, letting textile mills drop the unrecyclable core entirely.
