Raw material source: Recycling waste to reduce resource consumption
● Raw material recyclability: RPET (Recycled PET) uses recycled waste PET plastic bottles, packaging materials, etc., which are sorted, cleaned, crushed, melted and granulated to convert plastic waste into recycled polyester fibers.
● RResource conservation:
○ Reduce dependence on non renewable resources such as oil (traditional PET fibers require polyester raw materials extracted from oil).
○ According to statistics, producing 1 ton of RPET fiber can save about 7.4 tons of oil consumption and reduce 3.2 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
○ Reduce white pollution: Transfer a large amount of plastic waste from landfill or incineration scenarios to reduce its pollution risks to soil, water sources, and air.
Production process: low energy consumption, low pollution
● RLower energy consumption: Compared with producing native PET fibers, the regeneration process eliminates the complex process from oil extraction to polyester synthesis, reducing production energy consumption by about 30% -50%.
● RPollution reduction:
○ Reduce wastewater and exhaust emissions in the petrochemical production process (such as pollutants such as sulfides and nitrogen oxides in traditional polyester production).
○ Some advanced processes adopt closed-loop water circulation systems to further reduce water resource consumption and pollution during the production process.
Product Features: Recyclable, Degradable (Some Scenarios)
● RRecyclability: RPET fabric itself still belongs to polyester fibers, and after being discarded, it can be recycled through physical recycling (melting and granulation) or chemical recycling (depolymerization into monomers) to produce fibers or other plastic products, forming a "recycling regeneration reuse" cycle chain.
● RDegradable improvement: Some RPET fabrics can achieve biodegradation under certain conditions (such as in industrial composting environments) by adding bio based components or modification processes, further reducing long-term environmental burden (note: conventional RPET is still a difficult to degrade material and relies on recycling systems).
Extension of Environmental Benefits: Promoting Sustainable Industrial Models
● RIndustrial chain driving effect: The popularization of RPET fabrics has promoted the improvement of the plastic recycling system, promoted the coordinated development of waste recycling, recycling processing, textile manufacturing and other links, and formed a green industry closed loop.
● RConsumer guidance: Through environmental labels and concept dissemination, guide consumers to choose "waste recycling" products, reduce dependence on disposable plastic products, and promote low-carbon consumption models.
