Recycled Polyester Fiber

Certified GRS recycled polyester tailored for specific spinning and nonwoven applications.

What people expect

"Generic 'recycled' fiber that behaves like virgin but costs slightly more."

What actually affects performance

Feedstock consistency (bottles vs. flakes) determines spinning performance and dyeability. Low-grade recycled fiber causes high breakage rates.

Common Applications

Ring Spinning
Open End Spinning
Nonwovens
Padding
Execution Risk

Why recycled polyester costs more than virgin

It's counterintuitive: waste should be cheap. But collecting, cleaning, and repolymerizing waste into high-quality fiber is an energy-intensive and multi-step process. Virgin polyester is just oil processing, which is highly optimized.
