Recycled Plastic.

Renewed Purpose.

What is rPET?

rPET is made by transforming post-consumer PET plastic bottles into high-quality textile fibres. This upcycling process keeps plastic out of landfills and oceans, reduces the need for new plastic, and supports a circular economy. It also cuts carbon emissions by up to 79% and uses up to 50% less energy.

rPET products are strong, durable, and built to last, offering lightweight reliability without sacrificing quality. Same product. Same performance. Just made from recycled bottles instead of new plastic.

How is rPET Made?

  • Pile of crushed plastic bottles, including brands like Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Aquafina.

    Collection

    Post-consumer plastic bottles are collected and sorted, kept out of landfills and oceans, and prepared for a new life.

  • Close-up of clear, irregularly shaped plastic shavings or fragments.

    Shredding and Cleaning

    Labels and caps are removed, then the bottles are thoroughly washed and shredded into clean, consistent plastic flakes

  • Close-up of small white plastic granules.

    Pellet Formation

    The plastic flakes are melted down, filtered, and formed into tiny, uniform pellets for easier handling and processing.

  • Multiple large spools of white thread with red centers arranged in rows.

    Yarn Production

    These pellets are melted again, then cooled, stretched, and spun into soft, high-quality yarn suitable for textile manufacturing.

  • rPET Blanket
