(2) RPET fabric is made of recycled environmentally friendly fiber raw materials recovered from Coke bottles. The recycled Coke bottles are crushed into fragments and then processed by spinning. They can be recycled and effectively reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Compared with the conventional production of polyester fibers Save nearly 80% of energy.
