Recycled Polyester: Eco-Friendly Fabric Transforming Waste into Durable Textiles

Recycled polyester is an environmental friendly fabric which use recycled plastic bottles and other post-consumer PET plastic wastes. It is recycled by first washing it then compounding it into small flakes, melting them and finally spinning them into used recycled polyester bottles. This reduces on the amount of plastic waste ending up in landfills, while at the same time recycling it into the fabric.

Despite having been recycled, recycled polyester on the other hand has most of the appealing attributes inherent in virgin polyester such as; durability of the fabric, its resistance to wrinkles, the stretchability of the fabric material as well as its ability to maintain shape.

Advantages of Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester Fabrics

• More Sustainable: Recycled polyester, thus, decreases dependency on virgin polyester that is derived from fossil fuels and lowers waste, and energy consumption. That means every pound of the polyester fabric saved is equivalent to more than 30 plastic bottles from polluting the landfills.
• Eco-Friendly Production Process: Compared with the primary process of manufacturing these bottles, the process of making recycled polyester is considerably more friendly on the environment. It releases less greenhouse gases, many times less water wastage, air, and water pollution.
• Performance Qualities: These new fabrics have even identical characteristics to conventional polyester fabrics in terms of recyclability and performance. It is highly durable, low maintenance, is not affected by most forms of chemicals and can be dyed easily, has shape retention and is also mold and mildew-resistant.
• Versatility in End Uses: Post-consumer polyester fabrics can thus be applied to create a broad array of textile and apparel merchandise such as apparel, home accessories such as curtains, furniture cover, bed linens, tapes, and carpets, outdoor wears, bags and so on.
