Energy-saving and carbon reduction have become a topic that countries all over the world attach importance to.

 

The global use of coal, petroleum and other products produces a large amount of carbon dioxide. Due to the increase in carbon dioxide, the average temperature of the earth has risen by more than 1.5℃, and the global greenhouse effect is becoming more and more serious. The melting of icebergs in the Arctic, rising sea levels and destruction of tropical rain forests are harmful to human Survival brings new crises; therefore, energy-saving and carbon reduction have become a topic that countries all over the world attach importance to.

It takes 450 years for PET bottles to be buried in the ground to decompose, and 1 kg of PET bottles is equivalent to 0.8 liters of crude oil. Excessive use of PET bottles has caused serious damage to environmental disasters and energy consumption. Resource recycling and recycling are currently the most commonly used methods for carbon reduction. Among them, PET bottles are recycled into PET fibers and are being widely used in textiles.

Recycling 1 liter PET bottles can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 0.042 kg, and every 20 PET bottles recycled can be processed into a T-shirt for summer.

Environmentally friendly recycled polyester is a recycled polyester fiber recycled and reused from PET bottles. The PET bottle is made of the same material as ordinary polyester and is a polymer produced by the polymerization of Terephthalate acid and Ethylene glycol. PET bottles can be processed into PET fragments, pelletized into slices, melted and threaded, and then processed into PET filament or fiber. The short and medium fibers are then spun into yarn by spinning.

PET fiber has abrasion resistance, moisture absorption, and good air permeability. It can be made into various fabric clothing, such as T-shirts, hats, sportswear, jackets, handbags, carpets and other products.
