It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry.

One way clothing and footwear producers are working to address these priorities is by using more recycled raw materials, such as recycled polyester from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, within their synthetic fibers. The plastic mass is then shaped into filaments, spun, and texturized into an already-dyed yarn.

As well as color correction, this solution also improves the quality and performance of rPET and improves bottle mechanical strength, helping to reduce stoppages, blowouts and scrap while also reducing energy consumption during the bottle blowing process. Since the formulation also has improved heat stability, it will not accelerate yellowing during the recycling process, and will also help reduce energy consumption and improve bottle mechanical strength by incorporating all the added benefits from the SmartHeat RHC technology.
