Fabrics made from post-consumer bottles (PET)
Planet FR – Ecoplanet FR – Ecoplanet FR SRC
PET is used to produce bottles for water and drinks, packaging for detergents and pharmaceutical products. After use, PET containers are thrown away and become rubbish, clogging our cities.
We believe in a better approach to their eco-friendly use. We are committed to a healthier approach using recycled and recyclable materials in the development of longer-life cycle products. Recycled polyester yarns are regular quality yarns with identical characteristics to those produced from virgin raw materials.
