Ecological Production for Conscious Consumption - Recycled Polyester Fabrics

Ecological Production for Conscious Consumption - Recycled Polyester Fabrics

Polyester is the most commonly used fabric, especially for digital printing, today.

Standard polyester fabrics are usually produced from materials that are not obtained from virgin fibers and require a lot of energy during production.

The focus of the EU waste management policy is on waste disposal, energy recovery, recycling, reuse, and waste prevention.

An international life cycle analysis is conducted to evaluate the ecological impact of a fabric, as defined in the International ISO 14040:2006 standard.

It aims to reveal the potential environmental dimensions and impacts of a product throughout its life cycle from raw material extraction to production and end-of-life.

Every minute, more than 1 million plastic bottles are purchased worldwide.

While most of the bottles go directly to landfills, a small percentage reaches recycling facilities thanks to environmentally conscious consumers who embrace the idea of recycling.

More than 8 million tons of plastic waste are dumped into our oceans every year.

Millions of whale, turtle and fish species lose their lives due to this waste.

Recent studies show that at least 19 million tons of plastic accumulate and float in our oceans.

Ecological Production for Conscious Consumption

At Soletex, we place great importance on ecological outcomes and high quality. We produce fabric types suitable for digital printing with recycled yarns.

By using recycled yarns, we try to minimize the environmental impact of the fabric.

All of our textile products have an OEKO-TEX certificate which proves that they are not harmful to human health.

Our fabrics have been tested and certified to obtain the OEKO-TEX environmental certificate.

Our company does not use more than 100 restricted raw materials that are known to be harmful to human health during production. Soletex is committed to a sustainable future and improving the environment with the Sustainable Textile Product (STEP) principle.

Our fabrics made from recycled yarns are produced from used plastic bottles, nylon, granules, and similar materials.

During the production process, these materials are cleaned, turned into recycled plastic pieces, and then melted into yarns.

Recycled polyester is obtained by melting existing plastic and weaving or knitting polyester yarns again.

For example, 10 water bottles can produce enough yarn to produce 1 square meter of fabric.

Benefits of Using Recycled Polyester Fabrics: Mixing cotton with recycled polyester provides advantages such as increased durability, increased wrinkle resistance, and faster drying time.

Both fibers absorb the dye differently after digital printing, allowing colors to be more vivid and clear.

We Give Life to Plastic Again

The demand for fabrics made from recycled plastic creates a market for recycled bottles, helping to save PET bottles that would otherwise take over 400 years to decompose in landfills.

Recycling, an ecological and sustainable choice, is actually in the hands of humanity on this planet.

The consumer society continues to contribute significantly to the inevitable increase in landfill waste.

Not only highly consumed products but also the packaging of products with generally non-ecological materials contribute even more to the waste flow.

Therefore, recycling most of the landfill waste and producing products based on more ecological solutions for our increasing needs will be essential for the health of our planet.
