The process involved

Stage 1

Single use plastics and bottles have become one of the hot topics over the last few years resulting in the increased use of recycled polyester. Recycled polyester, also known as rPET, is obtained by first collecting bottles and other plastic waste and cleaning them. 

Stage 2

The clean bottles are then shredded. 

Stage 3

The shredded bottles are then crushed and formed in to pellets. 

Stage 4

The pellets are then crushed and melted to create the yarn.

Stage 5

The yarn is then spun to create the thread. The thread is then woven to create the base fabric. This process gives plastic a second life and uses 59% less energy to produce than virgin polyester.
