Since then huge technological advancements have made it possible to turn recycled PET into, among other things, comfortable & durable clothing. What do these advances mean to the average person? It means that the products we use now have the ability to come full circle and be used again. One of the most impressive features of our recycled poly is the source of the fiber - recycled plastic (PET) soda pop bottles. The bottles are refined and purified, chopped down and processed into spun fiber strands. These strands are then knitted and woven into fabric.
