To be in line with the current trends, Edgar Textiles provide high-quality, soft fabrics made from PET bottles. It maintains the high quality while reducing harmful effects on the environment.
PET, which stands for polyethylene terephthalate, is a form of polyester (just like the clothing fabric). It is extruded or molded into plastic bottles and containers for packaging foods and beverages, personal care products, and many other consumer products.
The production of plastic bottles far exceeds the possibilities of waste collection, and used PET bottles have become a huge problem in many countries. Plastics are filling landfills at an alarming rate and its decomposition takes hundreds of years. The recycling of PET bottles is the only way to save the environment.
Fabrics made from recycled PET bottles maintain their parameters and the softness. In the future, the textile industry will only use similar eco solutions.
How does it work?
Transparent plastic bottles for water, drinks and cosmetics are the raw material used in the production of fabrics.
Waste is segregated, cleaned, processed into granules, and then into yarns and fabrics. PET bottles are 100% recyclable. The process of recycling bottles uses less water and energy than their original production. PET reprocessing is associated with a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the production of conventional polyester.
The goal of GRS is to increase the use of recycled materials while caring for the environment, social conditions, and making sure the used chemicals are safe for people and the environment.
The GRS certificate confirms:
- the content of recycled fabrics,
- responsible social and environmental practices,
- a modern approach in business.
