From waste to something worth carrying

Collected & sorted

Post‑consumer PET bottles are collected and sorted for quality recycling.

Cleaned & shredded

Labels and residues are removed; bottles are shredded into clean flakes.

Spun into RPET

Flakes are melted and spun into yarn, then woven into strong, lightweight fabric.

People first
