Regenerated polyester fabric is also called rPET fabric. It is an environmentally-friendly fabric that has become popular in the recent years. It is also a core material for sustainable fashion. It is made from used plastic bottles and textile waste by crushing, melting and spinning processes, which can achieve the recycling of waste. It is a kind of low-carbon and emission-reducing fabric.
This fabric is both environmentally-friendly and practical. Firstly, it is green and environmentally-friendly, which changes waste material into things of value. Secondly, it has stable performance and good wear resistance. It has the advantages of polyester, as wear-resistant, anti-wrinkling, not easy deform and not fading. It is easy to maintain. After washed, it will not shrink. And it can keep stiff without ironing.
Comparing with traditional polyester, regenerated polyester has softer and more exquisite handle, better drapability and excellent functional plasticity. By improvement of technologies, it can achieve cold sense, moisture wicking performance, UPF50+ UV resistance and antibacterial performance, which perfectly meets the dressing needs of spring and summer. The only disadvantage is poor moisture absorption of pure rPET. It can be blended with natural fibers, as cotton and Tencel, etc. to improve the breathability and comfort.
Regenerated polyester fabric is the preferred fabric for light outdoor wear, commuter women’s wear and sport casual wear. It is light, thin, quick-drying, sun-proof and durable and often used to make light sports clothes, such as sun-protective clothing, quick-drying T-shirts, sport pants and yoga wear, etc. And it is anti-wrinkling and high-quality, which is suitable for making drapable shirts, wide-leg pants, thin suits and dresses. In addition, regenerated polyester fabric is also applied in children’s wear, home textiles and bags. It is cost-effective and practical, making it become a must-have fabric for current eco-friendly fashion.
