RECYCLED POLYESTER
How to take care of recycled polyester
Recycled polyester can be gently cleaned by using a soft microfibre cloth that has been soaked in warm water together with a delicate detergent. Wipe the outer layer of the garment with the cloth. The insides of the garment can be spritzed with fabric cleansing spray.
If necessary, it can be hand-washed at a cold temperature of no more than 30 degrees using a delicate detergent. Hang dry on a clothing hanger for a crease free result. To refresh your recycled polyester garment, gently spray the garment with fabric spray to remove odor.
OpéraSPORT’s recycled polyester is made from consumer or industrial waste materials such as used plastic bottles and apparel. Overall material that would otherwise have been sent to a landfill or for incineration. Recycled polyester requires fewer processing stages, consumes less energy during the production process, and reduces CO2 emissions compared to the production of regular polyester.
WHY RECYCLED POLYESTER?
Recycled polyester is considered more environmentally friendly than regular polyester because it lessens the reliance on virgin petroleum-based resources. The production of recycled polyester requires less energy and reduces carbon emissions compared to the extraction and processing of new polyester. By repurposing post-consumer plastic waste, recycled polyester contributes to waste reduction and a more sustainable approach to textile production.
