Recycled polyester in sportswear

Recycled polyester is typically produced from post-consumer PET bottles or post-industrial polyester waste. Through mechanical or chemical recycling, the material is reprocessed into new fibers suitable for high-performance textiles. The key question: Does it compromise performance? The answer: In most cases — no. Modern recycling technologies allow rPET fibers to closely match the physical and mechanical properties of virgin polyester.
