About the business

Anudando is an enterprise with a strong social focus. Anudando stands for “making a knot” in Spanish – a literal and contextual meaning. 

Anudando reuses plastic bags (polyethylene-PE) through Renacimiento, our first and main product line. We then transform them into yarn and high quality textiles, preserving dying crafts by giving communities of artisans the opportunity to nurture their own skills and expertise, whilst diversifying their practice and portfolio, all through environmentally friendly ways of working.
