According to Stanford University, a ton of recycled plastic saves 7,200 kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough to power a household for seven months.
A notable example of recycled plastic's integration into fashion is the process of collecting, chipping, melting, and spinning discarded water bottles into yarn, thereby granting them a second life. This yarn, commonly known as recycled polyester (rPET), is widely utilized by more and more sustainable brands.
WHY RPET?
The production of a single rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) hat yields significant positive environmental benefits.
-30% ~ 50%
It conserves raw materials and reduces energy consumption by 30% to 50%.
-100g ~ 125g
Each hat results in approximately 100 to 125 grams of CO2 reduction (based on 50 grams of cap material).
-20%
Recycled polyester production typically consumes about 20% less water than the production of new polyester fiber.
-50g
The 50 grams of rPET used in each hat recycles 50 grams of plastic waste from the stream.
