Others: tents, sleeping bags, hat materials, shoe materials, car accessories, etc.
Why promote the use of RPET?
At present, the consumption of PET plastic beverage bottles in my country is very high. The recycling of discarded PET beverage bottles can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also turn waste into treasure:
One ton of recycled PET yarn = 67,000 plastic bottles = 4.2 tons of carbon dioxide reduction = 0.0364 tons of oil saving = 6.2 tons of water saving
But only a small part of it is currently used, and the rest is discarded at will, causing waste of resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, its recycling technology has broad prospects.
Aiming at PVC containing chlorine (the main source of dioxin, which is a confirmed carcinogen) and various heavy metals and plasticizers that pollute the environment, Taiwan’s latest technology is used to produce a generation of PVC-free and almost unmeasurable heavy metal content, specifically replacing PVC products and becoming a new generation of environmentally friendly materials suppliers.
(1) Recycled PET fabric is a new type of environmentally friendly recycled fabric, namely recycled polyester. Its yarn is extracted from discarded mineral water bottles and cola bottles, and is also commonly known as cola bottle environmentally friendly fabric (RPET fabric, recycle polyester fabric). This product is very popular abroad, especially in developed countries in Europe and the United States, because it is waste recycling.
(2) Recycle PET fabric uses recycled environmentally friendly fiber raw materials recycled from cola bottles. The recycled cola bottles are crushed into pieces and then processed by spinning. It can be recycled and effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions. It saves nearly 80% of energy compared to the conventional process of producing polyester fibers.
(3) Recycle PET yarn, this fabric can be recycled and reused, which can save energy, oil consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Every pound of recycled RPET fabric can save 61,000 BTU of energy, equivalent to 21 pounds of carbon dioxide. It has made a certain contribution to reducing air pollution and controlling the greenhouse effect.
(4) After environmentally friendly dyeing, environmentally friendly coating and calendering, the fabric can pass the tests of international standards such as MTL, SGS, and ITS. Among them, environmental indicators such as phthalates (6P), formaldehyde, lead (Pb), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and nonylphenanthracene all meet the latest European environmental standards and the latest American environmental standards. At the same time, it has passed the authoritative certification of the Taiwan Environmental Protection Agency, the US SCS Environmental Protection Agency, and the European Oeko-Tex Standard 100 ecological environmental protection certification, and has higher international recognition.
(5) It can withstand high temperatures (i.e. hot cars) without deformation, is resistant to breakage, and has a smooth surface. RPET has strong chemical properties that can prevent the leakage of microorganisms and chemicals (this is why RPET is used in many cosmetic products). Therefore, RPET can be used for products with a longer shelf life.
