Recycled Polyester
Every year, 100 million barrels of crude oil are used to manufacture polyester. From that, 70% goes towards producing synthetic fibres for the textile industry, whilst a large part of the remaining 30% is used to make PET bottles. For functional clothes, bleed only uses recycled polyester in order to avoid the so-called 'virgin materials'. Recycled polyester has identical features to the non-recycled material, however the amount of rubbish produced, energy used and CO2 emitted can be reduced by reusing the material instead of needing something new.
