Wash recycled plastic bottles and shred bottles into pet chips. Chips are extracted into long spaghetti strands then strands cut into pellets.
Step 2:
Reheat pellets and turn them into super fine threads, spin threads into yarn.
Step 3:
Weave or knit yarn to create recycled polyester for fabric use.
Step 4:
Finish fabrics with eucalyptus, lemon and lavender essential oils.
Wear Benefits: Post consumer waste is repurposed with a non toxic finish.
