Factory Direct Ocean Recycled PET/PES DTY/POY/FDY Yarn Eco-friendly

Ocean recycled yarn is obtained by melting down existing plastic and re-spinning it into new polyester fiber. While much attention is given to rPET made from plastic bottles and containers thrown away by consumers, in reality polyethylene terephthalate can be recycled from both post-industrial and post-consumer input materials. For example, five soda bottles yield enough fiber for one extra large T-shirt.

The pros

1. Keeping plastics from going to landfill and the ocean - Recycled polyester gives a second life to a material that’s not biodegradable and would otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean. According to the NGO Ocean Conservancy, 8 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean every year, on top of the estimated 150 million metric tons that currently circulate in marine environments. If we keep this pace, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Plastic has been found in 60 percent of all seabirds and 100 percent of all sea turtle species, because they mistake plastic for food.

2. rPET is just as good as virgin polyester, but takes less resources to make - Recycled polyester is almost the same as virgin polyester in terms of quality, but its production requires 59 percent less energy compared to virgin polyester, according to a 2017 study by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment. WRAP estimates rPET’s production to reduce CO2 emissions by 32 percent in comparison to regular polyester. If you look at life cycle assessments, rPET scores significantly better than virgin PET.

In addition, recycled polyester can contribute to reduce the extraction of crude oil and natural gas from the Earth to make more plastic. It curbs discards, thereby prolonging landfill life and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators. It also helps to promote new recycling streams for polyester clothing that is no longer wearable.

Spinning grade polyester chips are suitable for the production, processing and spinning of various polyester staple fibers and filaments, etc., to make various apparel fabrics, luggage fabrics, etc. Bottle grade is used to produce various beverage bottles, cosmetic bottles, condiment bottles, oil bottles, etc. These products become plastic waste after use. The RPET process is to recycle, melt, draw, and granulate the products produced by PET to form fabrics. .

It is widely used in mountaineering bags, computer bags, school bags, briefcases, linings, fashion bags, gift bags, handbags, shopping bags and clothing.
