The process involved Stage 1 Single use plastics and bottles have become one of the hot topics over the last few years resulting in the increased use of recycled polyester. Recycle d polyester, also known as rPET, is obtained by first collecting bottles and other plastic waste and cleaning them. Stage 2 The clean bottles are then shredded. Stage 3 The shredded bottles are then crushed and formed in to pellets. Stage 4 The pellets are then crushed and melted to create the yarn. Stage 5 The yarn is then spun to create the thread. The thread is then woven to create the base fabric. This process gives plastic a second life and uses 59% less energy to produce than virgin polyester. Size: 25cm Show more
