Recycling PET means safeguarding the environment. PET is a precious commodity since it is made from oil or natural gas. Furthermore, it can be a 100% recycled polyester yarn. PET does not lose its characteristics in any substantial way, and can thus be repeatedly re-processed to make high value added products.

PET is 100% recyclable with no harmful emissions or discharges. PET recycling is eco-compatible. In fact, PET recycling reduces CO2 emissions. For every kilo of recycled PET, 3 kg of CO2 emissions are prevented! Recycling 1, 000 kg of PET stops the production of up to 3, 000 kg of greenhouse gasses, which corresponds to the average total emissions of a car in a year (**).

Recycling PET saves energy

Re-using recycled PET to make new products can cut energy consumption by approximately 50%.

PET is 100% produced from oil or methane gas. Recycling means saving these non-renewable energy sources, which are being depleted rapidly and becoming more and more expensive. Recycling PET means saving non-renewable energy and substantially reducing its environmental impact.
