What is recycled polyester?

Recycled polyester (rPET for short) is a fabric that’s produced from synthetic fibers. Recycled polyester is produced by recycling existing materials (like plastic bottles and packaging) but still has all the characteristics and performance as a regular polyester, making it a more sustainable fabric alternative.

How’s recycled polyester made?

Recycled polyester is made by crushing plastic products into small pieces. These small pieces are then processed into yarn, transformed into a fiber, and in the end—made into a fabric.

What are the advantages of recycled polyester?

Producing rPet takes 33% to 53% less energy than creating polyester from scratch. Also, rPet produces approximately 54.6% fewer CO2 emissions to the air than virgin polyester. 

By using recycled materials, we reduce the plastic waste going into landfills.

This product is made just for you! As soon as you place an order, happy elves grab their tiny sheers and sewing needles and get to work making your special item. Because of this, it may take a little longer to get it to your doorstep. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction. It also aids in reducing elf production fatigue, which in turn inflates their self-esteem and gives them greater purpose in life. So, on behalf of them, we thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
