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 offers recycled polyester blends for brands requiring sustainable performance fabrics, particularly in outerwear and athleisure.
