The introduction and advantages of recycled polyester yarn

Introduction to Recycled Polyester Yarn

Recycled polyester yarn is a sustainable textile material made by repurposing post-consumer or post-industrial waste, primarily PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles and other polyester-based products. The process involves cleaning, shredding, melting, and re-spinning these waste materials into new yarn, which can be used for fabrics in fashion, home textiles, automotive interiors, and more.

This eco-friendly alternative to virgin polyester significantly reduces dependency on fossil fuels and minimizes the environmental impact associated with conventional textile production.
