Using Recycled Polyester Product To Make The World Clean

Using recycled instead of virgin polyester reduces our dependency on fossil fuels, as the production of recycled polyester requires far fewer resources than that of new fibers and generates fewer CO2 emissions. It is made from recycled plastic bottles. It is a great way to divert plastic from our landfills. 

What is Rpet ? 

Recycled polyester is also known as RPET, with the “R” standing for recycled and the ”PET” for polyethylene terephthalate. Its used is particularly popular for bags, shoes,umbrella, garments and relative accessories. It is made of recycled plastic water bottles. 

Where is the PET bottles from? 

A wide range of drinks, food products and other consumer goods are bottled in PET. The majority of bottles contain water or soft drinks, both still and carbonated. Other goods bottled in PET include edible oil, vinegar, milk, and shampoo. The empty PET packaging is discarded by the consumer, after use and becomes PET waste. In the recycling industry, this is referred to as “post-consumer PET.” All types of PET packaging, including bottles are usually marked with the recycle symbol.
