Recycled polyester
R-PET
To produce virgin polyester fabrics, significant amounts of raw materials and chemicals are needed that can pollute water, air and can cause health problems. Textile Exchange, a global non-profit organization that identifies and recommends the most environmentally virtuous fibers and materials, promotes recycled polyester (R-PET) as one of the best alternatives to virgin polyester, as it guarantees 40% * of emissions less than its traditional equivalent.
