To breathe new life into clothing that has once served its purpose.
Everyday, Nippon Fiber receives approximately 50 tons of clothing. All of them have left the hands of their buyers and have completed their roles. However, if you carefully sort through each piece of clothing,Not to mention those that are still in good enough condition to be worn as clothing, By processing and changing their shapes, they create new value. Today,our products are being shipped to many users with a new "life"breathed into them.
