RPET Newlife

NewLife is a line of polyester yarns created entirely from recycled plastic bottles. This new innovation benefits sustainable fashion in two ways.

First of course, is the material itself; the yarn provides a use for plastic substances that would have otherwise been thrown into a landfill. It reduces many of the costs and resources that are involved in conventional polyester production.

Additionally, unlike typical polyester textiles, NewLife utilizes a mechanical process for production rather than a chemical method. This cuts down on any toxins previously generated from the conventional system.

The yarn is incredibly versatile. Originally developed for use in corporate work wear, it can be applied to practically any area of the apparel industry. This includes knits, sportswear, lingerie, and even medical garments.

1 Kg of Newlife allows savings in terms of:

• less 60% consumption of energy resources
• less 32% CO2 emissions
• less 94% Water consumption
