IWAS sustainability tip of the month: save water, choose UPcycled!

Water is one of our planet’s most precious resources, yet it’s often taken for granted. Every industry, from fashion to home goods, consumes vast amounts of water to produce new materials. But there’s a better way: upcycling! By choosing upcycled products, you help reduce water waste and make a meaningful impact on the environment.

How UPcycling saves water

Unlike traditional manufacturing processes, upcycling transforms waste into new, high-quality products without the need for excessive water usage. Here’s how:

Upcycled glassware – New glass production requires significant water for cooling and shaping. By choosing upcycled glassware, you eliminate the need for this process, saving thousands of liters of water per year.

Reclaimed wood homeware – Harvesting and processing new wood involves water-intensive steps, from tree growth to industrial treatments. Upcycled wood products, on the other hand, breathe new life into discarded materials without additional water waste.

• Repurposed fabrics – Textile production is one of the largest consumers of water, with a single cotton t-shirt requiring up to 2,700 liters of water to make! By opting for upcycled fabrics, you cut down on water-heavy textile production while reducing landfill waste.
  
  
  

Sustainability in every drop

At IWAS, we believe in giving waste a second life—without wasting water. Every upcycled product we create is a small but significant step toward a more sustainable future. By making conscious choices in what we buy and use, we can help conserve water and protect our planet.

Join us in making water conservation a part of our daily habits. Choose upcycled. Choose sustainability. Because every drop counts. 💙♻️
