4 Invaluable Merits of Choosing rPET Fabrics and Textile

Virgin polyester is a prominent fabric used in the apparel industry. Sadly, this synthetic fabric is a product of crude oils and non-renewable resources.

While consumers have started making intelligent choices, preferring environmentally friendly clothes, there still lacks new innovations and ideas for comfortable and stretchier outfits.

For ages PET has been used in making plastic water bottles, which are either dumped in landfills or end up polluting oceans. Plastic microfibers from such waste bottles have an unavoidable fate that eventually leads them into toxic situations for the environment.

Virgin polyester currently makes up over half of the global fashion industry, and the amount used to make new clothing is only set to rise. Sustainable fabric as an innovative possibility, to combat the evil of plastic waste can be used to produce long lasting products.

Enlisted here are benefits of recycling PET into fabric

  • Can be recycled multiple times– Items made from 100% rPET like carpets, jackets, upholstery, shoes, hats, socks can all be recycled again. This can mindfully prevents us from manufacturing new virgin PET and act as a reliable solution for our environment
  • Less Resource Consumption– rPET utilizes 90% less water in manufacturing than virgin plastic. It utilizes 79 to 85% less energy and is 75% more environmentally safe than PET. Preferring rPET over virgin fibers saves on precious fossil fuel resources
  • Quality Apparels- Like their counterparts made from hydrocarbons, recycled PET fabrics offer high resistance to abrasion, durability and a fair waterproofness.  For 30 years we’ve been churning out premium quality products for you to use
  • Fighting Pollution– Plastic when discarded creates a high amount of land and ocean pollution. For every ton of plastic recycled, 7.4 cubic yards of landfill is saved. Creating PET from scratch uses a good amount of oil and resources. Instead, using rPET can incredibly reduce the carbon footprints and help the planet breathe. rPET fibers utilize 94% less water than oil based PET fibers. Go Rewise has a capacity of more than 40,000 tons p.a. along with resource optimized processes, contributing significantly towards plastic pollution.

To sum up-

Recycled PET, spun into fibers can prove to be a sustainable option for the earth. Manufacturing of rPET emittes low CO2 and no exhaustible resources being used. Fashion and textile industries can tackle this menace of polyethylene terephthalate pollution and turn them into strong and durable clothing and decorative alternatives. We have leveraged 30 years of experience of Ganesha Ecosphere & launched a set of premium rPET products.
