The importance of recycled polyester in sports equipment
Polyester is a material created from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic. Instead of remanufacturing PET, brands are developing processes to incorporate recycled polyester, also known as rPET, into the manufacture of their products. This approach not only saves natural resources, but also significantly reduces plastic waste.
This is achieved through two main techniques: " post-consumer ", which uses household waste such as plastic bottles or clothing recycling, and " post-industrial strong >", which reuses waste from manufacturing stages. For example, ODLO Active technical underwear strong > is made from 100% recycled polyester.
