Recycled Polyester Yarn and Its Uses

 About half of the World’s clothing and accessories are manufactured using polyester, and this amount will nearly double by 2030. Reason? An increasing number of users are looking for more durable apparels. Since, polyester is not a sustainable textile option, as it is synthesized from petrochemical products. The recycled polyester yarns (RPET) are used to produce apparel and accessories by most brands. 

 

To preserve the ecosystem and the environment for future generations, Colossustex produces RPET. RPET is the innovative recycled polyester yarn manufactured from discarded PET bottles. Using environment-friendly recycling processes, RPET does not depend on petroleum and thus efficiently preserves natural resources and decreases environmental strain without compromising quality and produces eco-friendly yarns.

 

Recycled Polyester

 

Recycled polyester, also known as RPET, is obtained by melting down discarded plastics and re-spinning it into new polyester fibre. Polyethene terephthalate (PET) can be recycled from both post-industrial and post-consumer materials. By using plastic bottles and containers discarded by the consumers, RPET is formed. The PET scraps are broken into fibre components that can then be spin into the recycled yarns.

 

For your information:

Five water bottles yield enough fibre for an extra-large T-shirt.

 

Recycled Polyester Yarn Process

 

Cleaning

PET bottles are picked and sorted into packages at recycling centres and then sent to specific PET recycling facilities. The caps and labels of the bottles and containers are removed and cleaned. Further, they are steamed and washed to remove any non-PET components.

 

 

Shredding

The bottles are shredded into flakes using a mechanical bale breaker. Shredding allows the unwanted liquid(water, soda, cold drinks etc.)to drain out. So that It does not affect the quality of Plastic. This waste is valuable, mainly for the fashion industry. Later, the clear plastics are assorted from the coloured plastics. The cleared plastics are used to make white clothes. It can be dyed so, it is notably valuable.

 

Processing

It goes through de-polymerisation and re-polymerisation process to be rebuilt into PET chips. These PET chips can be further processed to make clothing, insulation, new water bottles, etc.

 

Melting

The chips are then passed through a spinner and melted. It instantly cools as it comes out of spinners and turns into fine polyester filaments. These are then smoothed, stretched and placed into reels to roll as a bundle.

 

The recycled yarn is ready to be used for weaving or knitting into the fabric again. Polyester Waste Recycling has the same aesthetics and operative performance as regular polyester yarn. Recycled polyester gives a new life to a material which is non-biodegradable and would otherwise end up in the ocean and landfills, which is harmful to the water bodies and other animals. Recycled polyester is the same as regular polyester in terms of quality, but its production requires 59 per cent less energy compared to virgin polyester. It reduces CO2 emissions by 32 per cent in comparison to regular polyester.

Spandex Yarns and Its Benefits

  Spandex is the next generation synthetic polymer man-made yarn. The main property of Spandex includes soft, smooth texture and unique elasticity. Due to this, it has been the most commonly used in compression garments as a raw material. Spandex yarn can stretch upto 500% in all dimensions. Apparels made up of spandex gives extreme comfort and perfect fit. On repeatedly stretching, it does not lose its shape.   Spandex yarns are made up of numerous polymer strands. These strands have two segments- Amorphous segments (long) and Rigid segments(short). In their original state, the amorphous segments have a random molecular structure. The intermingling of the amorphous segments makes the yarns softer and Rigid segments of the polymers bond with each other to form the structural yarns. When the spandex yarns are stretched, the bonds between the amorphous segments are straightened, thereby increasing the length of the fibre and rigid sections are broken, results in bonding the segments

What is Flax fiber?

Flax fibre is popular in the textile industry for the production of linen fabric. It is a new and growing material in the textile industry. It is mainly grown in Western Europe. Its mechanical properties and the length of elementary fibres is feasible for raw material, which leads to an increase in demand in the textile industry.   It is extracted from the outer layer of the flax plant, the stem. These are the thin filaments swarmed in skinny longitudinal bundles and distributed in a circular pattern around the central portion of the stem. The holding tissue is made up of vivacious cells with a semi-permeable coating.   Flax fiber is soft, lustrous and more conventional than cotton fiber. It has less elasticity than cotton fibre. Like other natural fibres, it is also being considered as an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fibers.   Extraction process of Flax fiber   The extraction of the fiber includes three stages:   Stage 1 Decoration. It is the
