General polyester is extracted from the oil, but RPET yarn from discarded PET bottles(for example:plastic bottles, coco-cola bottles etc). The term “RPET” stands for “recycled polyethylene terephthalate,” which is the material that is produced when plastic bottles are recycled. It is a new type green recycle fabric by using PET bottle recycled fiber to decrease environment pollution. It creates a new concept in the field of regeneration, just because its low carbon functionality of raw materials. See below chart:
The process of making RPET fabric typically involves collecting used plastic bottles, cleaning and shredding them into small pieces, melting the pieces down into pellets, and then using those pellets to create polyester yarns. These yarns can then be woven or knitted into a wide range of different fabrics, including those used for clothing, bags, and other products.
RPET fabric is considered to be an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional polyester fabrics, as it reduces waste and helps to conserve natural resources. It can also be a cost-effective option, as it can be produced at a lower cost than virgin polyester fabric.
RPET fabric has the feature of anti-static, shrink-resistant, UV protection and waterproof, etc. Density can be made from 170T to 300T. In umbrella lines, we regularly use fabric with a density of 190T and 210T fabric.
If you want to develop eco-friendly products, RPET fabric is one of your best choices. Other accessories also can make by using this materials.
