The Recycled Polyester Round Table is a global network aiming to increase the uptake of recycled polyester.
Our Recycled Polyester Round Table provides a forum for members to safely express and discuss challenges, compare experiences, and hear about the latest initiatives and forms of technology from leading thinkers. We’re working to build a fashion and textile industry where no new fossil-based fibers are entering the supply chain, and all synthetic materials are coming from a recycled or regenerative source.
Goals
We’re aiming to bring down barriers to wider recycled polyester adoption.
SCOPE
We know recycled polyester isn’t perfect.
We promote recycled polyester as a preferred alternative to virgin polyester, but there is a lot to be done. The Recycled Polyester Round Table works to find solutions to the technical, societal, and commercial barriers to the growth of recycled polyester’s market share. We take a holistic approach with a focus on climate, water, and biodiversity.
