Why Recycled Polyester

While it's an oil-based textile, the world uses & recycles a lot of water bottles and we are able to turn that waste into a textile that can be used for decades. 

At our Hemp Fortex factory, we use Repreve Recycled Polyester - Over 800 million tons of plastic bottles end up in landfill each year. Recycling the PET from plastic bottles into fiber not only reduces landfill & ocean waste, it causes far less air pollution than making new PET. See more about the recycled polyester process.
