These black gloves were found in a used-clothing container and opened at the gesa measuring action (Textile Archive, 2026, canvas 12). Polyester is made from petroleum and is the world's most produced fibre – 59% of all fibre in 2024 (Fashionary, 2021, p. 047; Textile Exchange, 2025). There is no NIR reading yet, so we only know what the label tells us.

Made in China for Lotto – a reminder of how far our clothes travel. They were set aside because of dirt – but their fibres could go back into new yarn (R8 Recycle; Potting et al., 2017). Care tip: Pre-treat stains with mild detergent (no bleach) and wash at max. 20°C (ISO 3758:2023; GINETEX).

Add a NIR reading to verify the label. Use it to show the path from garment back to fibre. Complete label language and 3D scan quality.
