The Problem:
The Recycling Gap
“To stay within the 1.5-degree pathway...
we need to bring the share of mechanically recycled (or equivalent) fiber/filament within the polyester market from 14% to 90% by 2030.”

10m MT Gap
RPET Demand Set to Outpace Supply by 2025
Textile industry & beverage industry targeting, 45% and 25% RPET content, respectively, by 2025 (legislated & voluntary). There is set to be a major gap in recycled polyester raw materials of around 10 million metric tons by 2025.

Beyond BottlesTM
Currently, bottle flake RPET represents 99% of the market RPET market.
Currently, bottle flake RPET represents 99% of the market RPET market. However, the fashion industry needs to move past downcycled single-use plastics and go Beyond BottlesTM. Textile to textile recycling addresses the fashion industry’s waste problem and valorizes an underutilized waste stream.
