85% Less energy required by RPET as compared to Virgin Polyester
The clothing industry is currently the second biggest contributor to global emissions behind only the oil industry.
If we are to save our planet, we must make changes capable of large effect now. We see RPET as having that potential for change. As the world’s most used fabric, creating polyester from plastic bottles instead of crude oil would have an enormous positive impact.
Toxic chemicals (like BPA & Phthalates) from plastics seep into landfill soil, ground-water and our oceans, impacting humans and wildlife. They cause disruption in fertility, reproduction and sexual maturation in humans, poison wildlife and destroy our environment.
Additionally, plastic bottles take 700 years to decompose.
Virgin polyester supports the burning of fossil fuels. Using recycled polyester instead makes use of the millions of plastic bottles already in existence.
85% Less energy required by RPET as compared to Virgin Polyester
50% - 65% less Carbon and Sulphur Dioxide released as compared to Virgin Polyester
90% Less water usage by RPET as compared to Virgin Polyester
Here is the truth: The harder it is for businesses
to procure RPET, or the less confident they feel when purchasing recycled polyester – the more plastic will remain in landfill.
Our goal is to empower companies that see the value of RPET and help them infiltrate and disrupt their industries.
