How is the number of plastic bottles diverted calculated?Updated 10 months ago
Microfiber = polyester (which comes from PET, i.e. water bottles, juice bottles, etc.) + polyamide, so our recycled microfiber is a % of recycled polyester (PET) and polyamide (which currently has no way to be recycled so this is the only virgin content in our cloths). For each cloth, our manufacturing partner helped us to calculate the weight of the recycled PET in each style cloth (based on the % of recycled PET to polyamide) and we compared this to the weight of a plastic water bottle to help illustrate how many water bottles each cloth is diverting from being disposed of improperly. The recycled content is GRS certified.
