Sustainable Recycled Polyester Fabric

Eco-Conscious Product Lines

rPET fabrics are specifically chosen for collections targeting environmental responsibility and verifiable claims:

• Eco-Friendly Mattresses: Used as the primary ticking to highlight the use of recycled content on the surface.
• Retailer Sustainability Goals: Supplying fabrics to major retailers that have corporate mandates for a minimum percentage of recycled materials in their product lines.
• Promotional and Corporate Goods: Ideal for items where the sustainability claim is a key marketing message.

The fabric provides a compelling narrative of waste transformation and resource conservation.

Sustainability and Technical Metrics

Core Advantages of rPET Fabric

• Verifiable Sustainability Claim: Supported by third-party certifications (GRS) and traceability documentation, lending credibility to marketing.
• Equal Performance: Delivers the high strength, durability, and moisture resistance of virgin polyester, ensuring product longevity.
• Resource Conservation: Directly reduces the demand for virgin petrochemical feedstocks and helps divert plastic waste from landfills and oceans.
• Market Alignment: Meets the growing corporate and consumer demand for environmentally responsible products across global markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Does the use of rPET fiber impact the fabric's final color or softness?
• A: No. Modern rPET yarns are processed to be chemically and physically identical to virgin polyester, allowing for the same vibrant colors and soft hand-feel in the final fabric.

• Q: How is the recycled content percentage verified?
• A: GRS certification requires a continuous chain of custody documentation from the waste processor to the finished fabric manufacturer, ensuring the claimed percentage of recycled material is accurate.

• Q: Can rPET fabrics be treated with functional finishes (e.g., cooling or FR)?
• A: Yes. As the fiber chemistry is polyester, rPET fabrics can accept the same functional finishes, including cooling mineral infusions or FR treatments, that are applied to standard polyester textiles.

Certification and Sourcing Requirements

Successful rPET production relies on:

• GRS Certification: Mandatory for the fabric manufacturer to process and sell certified rPET yarns.
• Material Purity: Sourcing high-quality rPET chips that are contaminant-free to ensure consistent yarn spinning.
• Color Control: Careful control during dyeing to ensure the slight natural variances in rPET chips do not lead to color inconsistencies in the final fabric.

Production and Traceability Service

We manage the chain of custody required for certification:

• Lot Separation: Segregating certified rPET yarns and fabrics from virgin materials throughout the entire production process.
• GRS Auditing: Maintaining transparent records required for annual GRS audits by third-party certification bodies.
• Documentation: Providing the necessary Transaction Certificates (TCs) for clients to claim GRS status on their final products.
