rPet production uses 33 to 53 per cent less energy than making polyester from start. Additionally, rPet emits about 54.6 per cent less CO2 into the atmosphere than virgin polyester. At least some of the plastic waste generated is kept out of landfills by reusing recycled materials to create items like these fitness towels. The recycled yarns are also tested for harmful substances by OekoTex Standard 100. By choosing recycled materials, we make the most out of the resources we already have. Turning waste into new products cleans our planet, weakens dependence on petroleum, saves water & energy, and vastly reduces carbon emissions.
