Recycled Polyester
Definition
Polyester fibre made from post-consumer PET bottles or post-industrial polyester waste. Each kilogram of recycled polyester saves approximately 1.5 kg of CO2 compared to virgin polyester. It performs identically to virgin polyester in durability, moisture-wicking, and colourfastness. White Cotton sources recycled polyester blends for brands seeking a smaller footprint, particularly in outerwear.
