Recycled Polyester
The environmental impacts of recycled polyester are lower than that of virgin polyester in terms of energy use, water use and greenhouse gas emissions. It also diverts waste from the landfills. However, we are conscious of its limitations when it comes to micro fiber pollution.
Recycled Polyamide
Depending on type, nylon can be chemically or mechanically recycled. The main advantage of recycled polyamide is that it reduces our dependence on petroleum raw material source. Producing recycled nylon requires less energy, less water and generates fewer greenhouse gas emissions. It also diverts waste from the landfills and reduces toxic emissions released from incineration of waste. But we are aware that recycled polyamide releases micro plastic and, depending on the recycling process, it still uses a certain amount of energy, water and chemicals.
