recycled synthetic fibres
Recycled polyester, recycled polyester fibre, recycled polyester gloss
The production of synthetic fibres in 2021 will represent 64% of world production of all textile fibres combined. Conventional polyester, with 61 million tonnes produced, is still the mainstay. In the same year, recycled polyester will account for 14.7%, with some 9 million tonnes produced (Textile Exchange).
Recycled polyester, recycled polyester gloss or recycled polyester fibre yarns are a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative, offering similar performance to conventional polyester while reducing environmental impact for ethical, sustainable fashion.
Recycled polyester
Recycled polyester yarns for more ethical and sustainable fashion
Recycled polyester yarn is an eco-friendly choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint and environmental impact. Made from recycled materials, it reduces the amount of plastic waste in the environment while offering a sustainable alternative to the production of new yarns.
Recycled polyester yarns are used in many areas, including ready-to-wear, furniture, luggage, sportswear (clothes, bags) and footwear. They offer similar strength and durability to traditional polyester yarns, while being more environmentally friendly.
The advantages of recycled polyester yarn are numerous. By choosing products made from this type of yarn, you are helping to reduce plastic waste in the environment, save natural resources and encourage ethical and sustainable production.
Recycled polyester technical properties
- Strong, recycled polyester is durable and resists wear, tears and scratches
- Heat resistant, recycled polyester can withstand high temperatures without melting or warping
- UV resistant, it does not yellow in the light
- Elasticity: recycled polyester has good resistance to stretching
- Water-resistant: recycled polyester is hydrophobic, which means it is water-resistant and dries quickly. This yarn is commonly used for sports, swimming and beachwear.
- Easy to care for, it can be machine washed and dried.
- Moth and mildew resistant
- Environmentally-friendly: using recycled plastic bottles to make recycled polyester is an environmentally-friendly practice that reduces the amount of plastic waste in the environment.
