New life for PET plastic bottles: t-shirts running recycled
Recycling is a necessary commitment to respond to global warming, the main problem facing our planet.
Betting on recycling is a necessary commitment to contribute to caring for the environment, but also as an important support for sustainable development, since it allows saving natural resources that are not infinite.
The polyester thread with which Infini_Tech is made involves the elimination of used PET plastic bottles that, if not recycled, could end up as polluting waste in marine ecosystems or aquifers.
Also, when giving a new life to PET plastic bottles a important commitment to sustainability, since the consumption of oil (a non-renewable raw material) is reduced and significant energy savings are achieved since the extraction, transport and processing of oil is not necessary, in such a way that the amount of CO2 that is it is released into the atmosphere and it is one of the main causes of global warming.
