What is recycled polyester yarn?
Recycled polyester yarn is a yarn made by recycling plastic bottles and waste clothes. The same as the general polyester material, it is polyethylene terephthalate, which is a polymer produced by the polymerization of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol.
The fabrics made of recycled polyester yarn have the advantages of wear resistance, moisture absorption and good air permeability, and are now more and more used in various kinds of clothing, luggage, home textiles, toys, furniture and other products. Recycled polyester fabrics are very popular in foreign countries, especially in Europe and the United States, because they are used for waste recycling, which is very in line with the concept of European and American brands.
As the recycled polyester yarn is relatively new on the market, there are still some limitations to its use - but these limitations are gradually being removed as countries around the world become more environmentally conscious! If you're looking for yarn to make sustainable textiles, then recycled polyester yarn is a great choice.
Why Use Recycled Polyester Yarn?
Recycled polyester yarns can be recycled and effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions, saving nearly 80% of energy compared to the conventional production of polyester fibers. Recycled polyester yarn can reduce the amount of oil used, and each ton of finished recycled polyester yarn can save 6 tons of oil, which has made a certain contribution to reducing air pollution and controlling the greenhouse effect. Over the years, the production of recycled polyester yarn has played an irreplaceable role in green environmental protection, circular economy and improved economic benefits.
How Recycled Polyester Yarn is Made?
Recycled polyester yarn is made of polyester fabric, waste polyester bottle flakes, spinning waste, etc. as raw materials. After crushing and cleaning, the mixture of various materials is dried, melted, extruded, spun, wound, bundled, and drawn. , crimping (at the same time according to the customer's needs, add different oils when crimping), relax the yarn formed after heat setting.
Recycled Polyester Yarn Applications
The application field of recycled polyester yarn is similar to that of virgin polyester yarn. It is widely used in suspenders, shirts, skirts, children's clothing, silk scarves, cheongsam, ties, handkerchiefs, home textiles, curtains, pajamas, bows, gift bags, sleeves, fashion umbrellas, pillowcases, pillows, etc. It is most often used to produce textiles that require GRS certification.
