What is recycled polyester?. Recycled polyester (rPET for short) is a fabric that’s produced from synthetic fibers.

How’s recycled polyester made?. Recycled polyester is made by crushing plastic products into small pieces. These small pieces are then processed into yarn, transformed into a fiber, and in the end—made into a fabric. What are the advantages of recycled polyester?. Producing rPet takes 33% to 53% less energy than creating polyester from scratch. Also, rPet produces approximately 54. 6% fewer CO2 emissions to the air than virgin polyester.  . By using recycled materials to make things like the All-Over Print Unisex Athletic Shorts, at least some of the plastic waste produced doesn’t end up in landfills.
