Have you heard of recycled fabric? Do you know the use of recycled fabrics is increasing in different areas across the world, including fashion industry, interior design industry, car industry, medical fields, etc.? In the last few years Blink built for its customers a chain of suppliers with a profound experience manufacturing recycled textiles.
Nowadays, plastic bottles (PET bottles) are the most critical issue that has environmental consequences to pollute our land and oceans. 481.6 BILLION plastic bottles were used worldwide in a year. That is 40 billion per month and 1.3 billion per year…
482 billion plastic bottles are thrown away every year
Recycling plastic takes 88% less energy than making it from raw materials.
Enough plastic is thrown away each year to circle the earth four times.
Plastic bags can take up to 1,000 years to decompose.
Recycling one ton of plastic saves the equivalent of 1,000–2,000 gallons of gasoline.
Recycling plastic saves twice as much energy as burning it in an incinerator.
The world produces 400 million tonnes of plastic waste each year.
Recycling one ton of plastic bottles saves the equivalent energy usage of
a two person household for one.
One garbage truck full of plastic enters the ocean every minute.
As we continue to create more plastic waste, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
20 rivers contribute
67% of plastic waste into our oceans*

Surprisingly, the plastic we dumped into the trash every day can be recycled, reused, and re-created.
Plastic cans and bottles are major types of materials that can be reused by using simple technological processes to produce recycled fabrics.
Recycled plastics are materials created using varying percentages of post-consumer petroleum-based plastics. These materials can be circular-such as a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle returning as an rPET bottle.
Or, they can be downcycled—such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene) grocery bags becoming deck planking or park benches.
