Recycled Fabric Features
1）X-shaped cross-section fiber (wicking)
By melting and spinning recycled chips into X shaped cross-section synthetic fiber, recycled fabric designs with high absorption technology of which moisture and sweat can be pulled away from skin very quickly, transmitted to the fabric surface to avoid sticky and wet feeling.
2）Durability
Recycled polyester fabric is soft-touch feel and the same time with the characteristics of durability and strengths. After washing repeatedly, the recycled fabric maintains its shape and strength.
3）Environmental sustainability
Recycled fabrics can reduce plastic waste. Reduce the impact of microplastics on the planet and ocean. It takes approximately five to nine plastic bottles to make one Recycled fabric T-shirt, which helps to create larger demand with less impact on our environment.
4）Stable and Non-toxic
PET bottle and standard polyester both come from the same material; Therefore, the SPORTINGTEX ® Recycled polyester yarn has the same property as standard polyester yarn, such as non-toxic, stable, and easy-care.
5）Energy Saving
Recycled polyester fabric use less crude oil to produce, which has great potential to produce less energy, significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to regular polyester.
