Recycled Polyester

Most of the world’s PET production, approximately 60% is used to make textiles, while approximately 30% is used to make bottles. Each year, about 104m barrels of oil is used for PET productions. These bottles and fabrics are then dumped into the landfill causing various environmental problems. Understanding these harmful environmental issues, we decided to use Recycled Polyester (rPET) which is manufactured by using previously used polyester items like PET bottles.

Ecological reasons for using recycled polyester (rPET)

• Less Energy is needed to make rPET as compared to virgin polyester
• Reducing waste dumps at the landfill.
• Alleviates water, air and soil contamination

Manufacturing process of rPET fabric

1. The empty PET packaging and used Polyester Fabric is discarded by the consumer after use and becomes PET waste.
2. This PET waste is then collected at the recycling centres
3. The post-consumer PET waste is then crushed, pressed into bales, shredded, filtered and hence made into polyester fibers.
4. These polyester fibres are then spun into yarn and woven into fabric

Bamboo

Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plant which can grow in diverse climates. It is known as one of the most sustainable and eco-friendly choice for textile

Ecological reasons for using bamboo

• Bamboo is grown without Pesticides and chemical fertilizer, unlike cotton which uses 25% of the world’s pesticides
• Bamboo absorbs 35% more CO2 than other trees. An increase in bamboo plans may help fight against global warming.
• Bamboo hardly needs replanting
• Bamboo can be reharvested continually with no damage to the environment
• Bamboo requires hardly any irrigation, as compared to a cotton which takes about 20,000 litres of water to produce 1kg of cotton
• Bamboo aids in preserving soil and preventing soil erosion
• Bamboo grows rapidly and can be harvested in 3-5 years

Manufacturing process of bamboo textiles

1. Bamboo leaves and the soft, inner pith from the hard bamboo trunk are extracted using a steaming process and then mechanically crushed
2. The crushed bamboo is soaked in sodium hydroxide, which if used in a responsible manner has little known effect on the environment and health of workers to produce cellulose.
3. The bamboo cellulose then undergoes a viscose process - manufacturing fibres from wood pulp.
4. The fibre threads are then spun into viscose yarn and rolled onto spools. The resulting bamboo viscose fibre is very soft to the touch.
