The Summer Chaser towels are made with recycled polyester (rPET for short). It is a type of yarn that’s produced from synthetic fibres. Recycled polyester is produced by recycling existing materials (like plastic bottles and packaging) but still has all the characteristics and performance as a regular polyester, making it a more sustainable fabric alternative. The fabric is printed with water-based inks, cut into yoga mat towels and assembled in our partner factory in Guangzhou, by a family-run business that shares our values and dedication to quality.
