RECYCLED POLYESTER
GREENTEX OCEAN
GREENTEXOCEAN filament and staple fibre yarns are made from used PET bottles that are collected in coastal areas (within a 50-km radius), preventing them from entering the ocean.
These coastal areas are located in regions where the oceans are particularly affected by plastic pollution.
SOURCES
- Collection within 50 km of marine coasts/waterways
- From regions that are particularly at risk due to lack of waste systems
- Picking up PET bottles from nature
SOCIAL SUPPORT
- GREENTEXOCEAN aims not only to protect the environment but also to promote positive social impacts in the participating coastal regions. Employment and income opportunities, as well as entrepreneurial initiatives, can contribute to this in particular.
Difference to ocean plastic
We have decided against the use of plastic from the sea in our GREENTEX yarns.
Plastic from the sea is not collected in coastal areas, but rather „fished“ directly from the sea. While cleaning the oceans is also extremely important, we do not believe that the plastic collected from the seas is suitable for use in textiles.
This is because PET bottles attract pollutants like a „sponge“ after years of floating in the sea and should therefore not be further processed into textiles. Source
Technologies
FlameX
With our FLAMEX technology, we offer you polyester fibres and polyester yarns of low flammability where a fire protection feature is incorporated inherently in the fibre.
GREENTex
GREENTEX polyester fibres and yarns are made from recycled PET bottles. 100% of the recycled bottle polymer is used in the production of GREENTEX.
FlameXGREEN
Our latest polyester yarn FLAMEXGREEN is made from about 90% recycled PET bottles and is also flame retardant.
Cool Plus
The COOLPLUS technology refers to cooling and moisture-transporting polyester yarns which drain sweat off from the skin surface particularly fast – keeping your skin cool
and dry for a longer period during sports activities.
