About Recycled Materials ♻

WHAT IS RECYCLED POLYESTER
Recycled polyester (rPET for short) is a fabric that's produced from synthetic fibers. Recycled polyester is produced by recycling existing materials (like plastic bottles and packaging) but still has all the characteristics and performance as a regular polyester, making it a more sustainable fabric alternative.

HOW IS RECYCLED POLYESTER MADE
Recycled polyester is made by crushing plastic products into small pieces. These small pieces are then processed into yarn, transformed into a fiber, and in the end—made into a fabric.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF RECYCLED POLYESTER
Producing rPet takes 33% to 53% less energy than creating polyester from scratch. Also, rPet produces approximately 54.6% fewer CO2 emissions to the air than virgin polyester.

By using recycled materials at least some of the plastic waste produced doesn't end up in landfills.
