RECYCLED FIBERS.
A sustainable option.
Recycled fibers are a more sustainable way of manufacturing. They can also be mixed with many natural fibers. However, they are not as eco-friendly as natural fibers.
7 benefits to recycling
1. Conserving natural resources
2. Protecting ecosystems and wildlife
3. Reduces demand for raw materials
4. Saves energy
5. Cuts climate-changing carbon emissions
6. Cheaper than waste collection and disposal
7. Creating jobs
If in doubt, remember those three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
According to a report, 86% of plastic water bottles used in the US are dumped into landfills. Around 60 million water bottles are used daily in the US, which means approximately 18,834,000,000 are dumped in landfills every year.
When one plastic bottle is recycled, one can save enough energy to light a 60-watt bulb for six hours. As our environment is at risk and the world is becoming more eco-conscious, one can see a rise in the usage of recycled plastic fabrics for daily needs.
Besides, each plastic bottle can take up to 700 years to perish. The alarming rate at which the number of used plastic bottles is increasing in landfills poses a high risk to the environment.
This process also consumes 30% less energy than garments that are made from conventionally manufactured polyester.
Moreover, the plastic spun thread can be blended with other fibers to create a variety of clothing for every section of people.
