Recylced polyester: a sustainable material
An eco-responsible material that transforms our clothing and accessories.
Recycled polyester is now a key material in the field of sustainable textiles. Made from the recycling of existing plastics, it can be used to make clothing and accessories as durable as traditional polyester, while reducing their environmental impact. But what exactly is recycled polyester? What are its benefits, and why should you choose it when making your consumer choices?
What is recycled polyester?
Recycled polyester (often referred to as rPET) is a textile fiber made from used plastics: PET bottles, packaging, textile waste, and even recovered fishing nets. Rather than producing a new fiber from petrochemical resources, recycled polyester gives a second life to existing materials.
The benefits of recycled polyester
Reducing environmental impact
By reusing existing plastics, recycled polyester limits the amount of waste buried or dumped into the oceans and reduces the use of fossil resources such as oil.
Water and energy saving
Producing recycled polyester consumes up to 50% less energy and uses less water than conventional polyester.
Strength and durability
Like classic polyester, it is durable, breathable, lightweight, and easy to care for. It is an ideal material for everyday clothing and accessories.
A material that is part of sustainable fashion
Recycled polyester helps balance style and responsibility. It fits perfectly into ethical fashion and more responsible consumption.
Recycled polyester: a material of the future
Adopting recycled polyester means choosing a sustainable textile material that combines innovation and respect for the environment. At BILLYBELT, we are committed to offering clothing and accessories that meet your needs while having a more responsible impact.
