Why choose recycled polyester over polyester?

Recycled polyester is a sustainable alternative that is gaining popularity due to its lower environmental impact. In this blog post, we will compare polyester and recycled polyester to help you understand the differences between the two.

Polyester is a synthetic material that is made from petroleum, a non-renewable resource. It is a versatile material that can be used for a variety of products, including clothing, bedding, and upholstery. However, the production of polyester requires a lot of energy and emits a significant amount of greenhouse gases.

• Firstly, recycled polyester is made from recycled plastic bottles or other post-consumer waste. This process diverts waste from landfills and reduces the need for new polyester production.
  
  
• Secondly Recycled polyester has a significantly lower environmental impact than traditional polyester, as it requires less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gasses during production.
  
  
• Thirdly, when it comes to performance, polyester and recycled polyester are very similar. They are both durable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying, making them ideal for athletic wear and other active clothing. However, recycled polyester may be slightly less soft than traditional polyester due to the recycling process.
