Fabric Focus – Recycled Polyester

Our latest arrivals – the Action & Alpine series have been made from at least 50% GRS Certified Recycled Polyester. Each product diverts the equivalent of 10 to 15 plastic bottles away from landfill. Used post-consumer plastics are collected, broken into flakes, melted into pellets, and then spun into new fibres. This process saves water, energy and reduces green-house gas emissions.

The GRS certification helps us ensure we adhere to global standards with independent certification and documented support for our recycled products. It ensures our Biz Eco™ recycled products can be selected with confidence by our customers.

The Objectives of the GRS are:

Alignment of definitions across multiple applications.
Track and trace Recycled input materials. Global Recycled Standard ©2014 Textile Exchange, GlobalRecycled.org 6
Provide customers (both brands and consumers) with a tool to make informed decisions.
Reduce harmful impact of production to people and the environment.
Provide assurance that materials in the final product are actually Recycled and processed more sustainably.
Drive innovation in addressing quality issues in the use of Recycled materials.
