Recycled Polyester
By using recycled PET instead of conventional 'virgin' polyester the brands reduce water usage by 20%, energy consumption by 50% and CO2 emissions by 60%*.
Recycled polyester can be recycled again, and for that reason we believe that it is a high value material in circular economy. At Alfa Vega we work with the brands that use recycled polyester materials with different origins:
- Recycled Pet Polyester (post-consumer waste)
- Recycled PET Polyester From The Sea (post-consumer waste)
- Recycled Polyester from Garments (post-industrial and post-consumer waste).
That way the brands are able to reduce the waste and turn them into amazing sustainable pieces.
