The post-consumer waste thread lifecycle
Polyneon Green is manufactured using recycled transparent bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The process of giving this post-consumer waste a second life as thread takes many steps:
-
Recycling plastic bottles gives existing materials a chance at a new life.
- After the PET bottles are collected and prepared, they are shredded into flakes, …
- which are then formed into chips.
- Those are melted into a liquified form and extruded through microholes.
- The recycled fibers are spun and turned into an amazing new thread which won't create new waste: Polyneon Green.
- Voila! Ready to shine and last in your sustainably produced premium embroideries.
