Recycled PET
Recycled polyester not only contributes to the reduction of petroleum extraction, but it also consumes less energy than the regular method. It allows for a much longer life-cycle of the garment. Since the recycling process can be repeated instead of disposing of unwanted garments, it diminishes the environmental impact that comes with garment waste. This is called a Closed Loop system.

Benefits Of Recycled Polyester
-
With 49% of global production, polyester is the most widely used fibre in the apparel sector; more than 62,000 million tonnes of polyester fibres are produced annually.
-
Production of polyester fabric involves significant quantities of chemicals, raw materials and by-products that are toxic can pollute air and water and cause health issues.
-
Recycled polyester is promoted by TE as a preferred fabric.
-
Recycled polyester also known as rPET is obtained by melting down existing plastic and re-spinning it into new polyester fibre.
-
It can be either mechanically or chemically recycled with feedstock consisting of either pre or post consumer waste that can no longer be used for intended purposes.
-
It diminishes the environmental impact that comes with garment waste. This is called a closed a closed loop system.
-
Life cycle assessment prove that there is a reduction of carbon emission and prevention of toxic emission due to incineration.
