RPET is made by recycling PET, more often the recycling of plastic bottles. Once processed, the recycled plastic can be used to make new plastic bottles or other items like activewear or outdoor gear and bag.
Choosing RPET helps create a circular economy by keeping these precious materials that have already been extracted from the earth in circulation.
For RPET bags, the plastic is broken down into tiny flakes, which are then melted to separate out the PET from any contaminates, and then reused to form bags. This is a flawless, significant transformation of dangerous waste into crude fiber yarns woven to make bags of various textures.
