Our textile partners only work with GRS (Global Recycle Standard) yarn where the origins of the recycled plastic can be traced to ensure authenticity. The rPMT is sourced from three main locations: landfill, waterways and the ocean. We also use discarded fishing nets collected from the oceans. Once collected, the bottles (rPET) and nets are then giving to recycling plants who make them into yarn, where the recycled fiber is made by breaking down the used materials, which is then formed into small uniformed pellets, melted and spun into fibers. Our textile partners then use this yarn in their fabric mills and weave it into the material. This process reduces waste and conserves resources, aligning with our sustainability mission.
