In an era where sustainability is the forefront of consumer consciousness, the tailoring and shirtmaking industry is experiencing a significant shift towards eco-friendly practices. One of the remarkable innovations contributing to this movement in the adoption of recycled polyester labels.
Polyester, a widely used material in the textile industry, has often been associated with environmental concerns due to its synthetic nature. However, the emergence of recycled polyester has changed the narrative. Recycled polyester is created by re-purposing post-consumer plastic, diverting them from landfill and oceans. This process not only reduces the demand for virgin polyester but also minimises the environmental footprint associated with traditional production.

Our range of recycled woven labels are made from 100% recycled polyester thread (recycled polyester weft and warp). This environmentally-friendly recycled polyester thread meets the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).
