WHEN BAD PLASTIC HAPPENS TO GOOD CLOTHING PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) & HDPE (high-density polyethylene) account for 90% of all rigid packaging. It is used to make water bottles and food containers such as ketchup and non-food containers for items like cleaning products. Through a process which cleans, shreds, and melts this plastic we create recycled fiber that rivals virgin polyester. Through your purchase of each garment created by EARTHTEC, you are preventing approximately 12 bottles from ending up in a landfill. This not only feels good, but is good for the planet we all love.
