The textile industry is responsible for approximately 20% of the worlds water waste and 10% of all carbon emissions. We can all play our part in reducing waste and helping to lower emissions. That is why we are introducing a selection of recycled fabrics using PET yarns to our current product ranges. In doing this, we are helping to close the gap between raw materials and recycling.
What is PET?
PET is a plastic resin that is used in millions of consumer products, along with food and beverage packaging. PET can be defined as a consumer polyester thread derived from post-consumer recycled PET bottles (drinks bottles). The bottles are processed through grinding, washing, melting, repolymerising, spinning and texturing into new yarns.
Why have we chosen PET?
Repurposes waste ✔
Reduces energy and water consumption ✔
Reduces carbon footprint ✔
PET yarn is versatile, giving a high value product ✔
We have brand-new Style Studio Roller & Vertical eco fabrics. These have been developed using 100% recycled yarn that has been derived from post-consumer drinking bottles.
We have an impressive array of eco fabrics across both ranges. These fabrics have been made to the same standard as any of our other fabrics with the bonus they are helping to reduce plastic waste in our environment.
