What is the difference between PET and RPET?
Recycled Polyester (RPET) is environmentally friendly, cost-effective and safe. The regenerated polyester fibre is made from recycled plastic bottles and performs as well as regular virgin polyester.
Here are some facts about RPET:
- RPET requires 86% less water than regular polyester
- RPET consumes 70% less energy than regular polyester
- The CO2 emissions of RPET are 75% lower
- 1 kg of RPET can keep 60 water bottles out of environment
- Using RPET helps us to not only keep plastic out of the landfills and oceans, but also to save our natural resources.
