Each pair of our new Cut WasteNot™ gloves using recycled polyester is made from 1 (500mL) plastic water bottle and reduces 8-20g of CO2 emission from using recycled polyester vs virgin polyester.
Bottles have been diverted from landfills since April 2020!
Why Recycled Polyester (rPET)
Polyester, which is used in a majority of fibres in the textile and apparel industry (58%), is harmful to the environment during its production, as it’s made from petroleum derived from chemicals. rPET (recycled polyester), on the other hand, not only helps divert bottles from landfills, but is also less toxic and resource-intensive during its production. Compared to polyester, rPET uses 59% less energy, emits 32% less CO2 emissions, and generates 79% less carbon emissions.
Choosing rPET as a non-virgin material alternative reduces our dependency on fossil fuels, produces a smaller carbon footprint, and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy usage throughout the supply chain.
From the success of our WasteNot™ line in our retail products, we’re proud to be bringing the industry’s first-ever Cut Resistant gloves made with rPET!
With the increased awareness of the harm that plastic pollution produces, there’s greater demand for ways to deal with our plastic waste, and WasteNot™ is our innovative way to be more sustainable.
Exceptional Performance Qualities
WasteNot™ Process
With WasteNot™, we are focusing on the beginning stage of the product life cycle; in this case, we’re using post-consumer recycled plastic bottles to make our eco-conscious gloves.
We use rPET by taking recycled plastic water bottles and breaking them down into small pellets, which are then spun into yarn. This type of yarn material is what we call WasteNot™. One whole 500mL bottle is used in one pair of seamless knit gloves and 1-3 plastic bottles are used in our fabric printed gloves. WasteNot™ yarn is certified by the Global Recycled Standard, which validates recycled fibre content claims and composition.
