What is Recycled Cotton?

Pre-consumer cotton scraps and/or post-consumer cotton apparel are grouped into like colors, mechanically shredded into fibers and then spun into yarn. Recycled cotton fibers are weaker than those of virgin cotton so they are usually blended with other fibers such as polyester. Since the cotton was sorted by color, it allows new apparel to be made without any dye. Recycled cotton extends the lifespan of already existing fibers, helps prevent tons of textile waste from going to landfills, and reduces the environmental impact of textile production. 

What is Post Consumer-Recycled Polyester?

One of the world's biggest problems is single use plastics, like bottles. An estimated 60 million plastic bottles are thrown out every day. rPET is PET plastic (usually water bottles) that has been "recycled," reprocessed, and made into something new like activewear or outdoor gear and even shoes. Using post-consumer recycled polyester decreases the amount of plastic waste in the environment. Two pounds of collected waste, like ocean plastic, can be made into two pounds of recycled material. Since rPET cannot be recycled again it is not part of a truly circular economy. However, choosing rPET helps support plastic recycling efforts, saves energy, resources, and breathes new life into single use materials as it rescues these plastics from landfills where they can take thousands of years to break down.
