The recycled fabric of our inner linings, PET, is a fabric made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. This polyester is extracted from used clothing that is recycled.
The fabric we use in our exteriors is a recycled fabric with a composition of 32% post-consumer recycled polyester, 41% pre-consumer recycled cotton, 24% PE and 3% other fibres.
What is PET recycling?
PET recycling comes mainly from PET plastic bottles that are collected from containers distributed throughout the country.
Once this plastic has been collected, it is sorted and shredded, resulting in the manufacture of yarn to subsequently obtain the recycled fabric.

Why use recycled PET?
PET fabrics and synthetics have the same technical performance as virgin PET but have a lower environmental impact. The energy required for their production is lower and therefore the use of petroleum and CO2 emissions in the production of raw materials are reduced.
By consuming recycled PET products, you contribute to RE-consumption and reduce environmental damage.
