The definition of RPET is (recycled) polyethylene terephthalate, also known as recycled polyester fabric or eco-friendly fabric for cola bottles. The following is a detailed explanation of RPET:

1、 Chemical composition and source

Chemical formula: - OCH2-CH2OCOC6H4CO -, derived from the dehydration condensation reaction of ethylene terephthalate.

Source: RPET is extracted from discarded PET plastic bottles and processed through quality inspection, separation, slicing, drawing, and cooling to produce RPET yarn, which is then spun into fabric.

2、 Features and Applications

Characteristics: RPET fabric has the advantages of environmental protection, energy saving, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Each pound of recycled RPET fabric can save a significant amount of energy and reduce corresponding carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, RPET fabric also has good hand feel, delicate texture, and is not easily contaminated with dirt.

Application: RPET fabric is widely used in clothing, home textiles, hiking bags, shoulder bags, backpacks, pencil cases, tents, sleeping bags, hat materials, shoe materials, automotive interiors and other fields. Especially RPET flannel fabric, as one of the latest and best-selling textile fabrics, has been widely used in home textiles, baby products, clothing interiors, car accessories, toys, and other fields due to its environmental friendliness, soft hand feel, delicate texture, no shedding of hair, and no pilling.

3、 Environmental significance

The promotion and use of RPET fabric is of great significance for environmental protection. It can not only reduce the environmental pollution caused by discarded plastic bottles, but also save a lot of oil resources, reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, RPET fabric is considered a sustainable and environmentally friendly material.

4、 Testing and Certification

RPET fabrics can pass international standards such as MTL, SGS, ITS testing after environmentally friendly dyeing, coating, and rolling. Among them, environmental indicators such as phthalates (6P), formaldehyde, lead (Pb), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and nonylphenol have all met the latest European and American environmental standards. This further proves the environmental friendliness and safety of RPET fabric.

In summary, RPET is an environmentally friendly recycled polyester fabric that is widely sourced and recyclable. With the continuous improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection and the deepening of sustainable development concepts, the application prospects of RPET fabrics will be even broader.
