Polyester is the major fiber used in clothing and plastic production.
Used clothing made out of polyester is often discarded and ends up in landfills.
This waste can instead be effectively salvaged to create recycled fibers to manufacture new clothing along with these positive side effects:

Cotton, the second most common fiber, is another contributor to textile waste.
Unlike polyester, cotton has extra waste generated during production in addition to it’s waste created through the discard of used products.
The cotton waste generated during production can be effectively used to create new clothing products.

Our current technology is capable of producing open-loop recycled products.
A closed-loop system is a design and manufacturing method that keeps the textile material circulating for as long as possible. The fibers produced through the closed-loop process, are used in textiles later.
