This is essentially a trademarked brand of recycled polyester made by our textile partner in Taiwan. They specialize in manufacturing CYCLEPET, in addition to an entire line of recycled materials. The production process, as well as dyes and coatings, are all eco-friendly, non-toxic, and bluesign approved—for instance, our water-resistant polyurethane (PU) coating material does not contain isocyanates. Production of CYCLEPET uses about half the energy as fabrics made with virgin petroleum. Not all recycled polyester out there in the world necessarily meets these standards, so we often refer to ours by the CYCLEPET trademark.
