Pros for using recycled polyester (from plastic bottles)
- The energy needed to make the rPET is less than what is needed to make the virgin polyester.
- Recycling PET to create the fabrics prevents it from going to landfills or oceans.
- Using more recycled polyester reduces our dependence on virgin petroleum as a raw material.
- Fabrics created from recycled polyester can be recycled again and again with no degradation of quality, allowing us to minimize wastage.
