Recycled PET Bag (rPET)
rPET bags are made from polyester fabric derived from recycled plastic bottles. The manufacturing process involves collecting PET bottles, cleaning and shredding them into flakes, melting the flakes into pellets, and extruding them into polyester fiber. That fiber is then woven or bonded into fabric and sewn into bags. A bag typically requires the equivalent of 1 to 5 recycled bottles depending on size.
The resulting fabric is durable, water-resistant, tear-resistant, and holds color well for printing. rPET bags need to contain at least 80% recycled material to carry the rPET designation.
