Polyester is the most widely used textile fibre. It is strong, light, quick-drying and holds colour well, which suits printing and value added finishes.
Virgin polyester
Virgin polyester is made from new raw materials. It gives consistent quality lot after lot. At Dynamic Knitfabs we use virgin polyester yarn from Reliance only.
Recycled polyester
Recycled polyester is made from post-consumer or pre-consumer waste, such as used PET bottles. It lowers the demand for new raw material. We use recycled polyester yarn from Alliance, and certified fabric can be supplied with GRS documentation on order.
Do they perform differently?
In most fashion fabrics, buyers will not notice a difference in look or handle. The main differences are cost, availability and the paperwork needed to make a recycled claim.
What to ask your supplier
- Yarn source and type
- Certification and Transaction Certificate for recycled claims
- GSM, width and finish
