Our recycled fabrics include recycled polyester fabric, recycled nylon fabric. rpet fabric. Generally, recycled fabrics are made from waste fabrics or PET bottles, the handfeeling will be less soft than virgin ones. But for sustainable material, we decided to manufacture some recycled fabrics. Not only for ourselves, but also for the environment.
Each of our recycled fabrics passed the GRS(Globle Recycle Standard) certification. We promise the recycled fabrics you receive are indeed recycled.
Recycled fabric is a fabric that has been made from waste material that is reprocessed into new fibers and then spun into new yarns and fabrics. There are several different types of recycled fabrics, and they are made in quite different ways.
The two main types are:
- Textiles made from recycled fabric or clothing
- Fibers and fabric created from other waste materials like plastic water bottles or food waste.
The benefits:
- Less Energy required
- Reduce the need for virgin materials
- Supports the Circular Economy
- Reduces Landfill
Polyester is used to make clothing,
- durable, quick-drying, and highly resistant to environmental factors, such as water and wind
- extremely stain resistant – they can only be colored using special disperse dyes
- good at insulating
- strong – tear and wrinkle resistant
- reliable and lightweight – retains its shape well and is resistant to shrinking and stretching
Polyester is also sensitive to temperature, flammable, often regarded as non-breathable, and is known to cause skin irritation commonly.
Not only that – but the majority of synthetic polyester is not biodegradable and uses tons of non-renewable resources to produce.
This means it is having a long-lasting effect on our environment beyond its intended use. Not cool.
We can recycle a variety of virgin polyester from different sources. However, the most common source for the textiles industry is recycled PET bottles. Although it’s important to note that not all polyester is suitable for recycling, this is especially difficult when the fibers or materials are blended with others.
Recycled polyester fiber is a smart, sustainable fabric option for eco-conscious consumers. The fabric quality is almost identical; however, the price the planet pays is much lower.
