Recycled Yarn: Green Revolution in the Textile Industry

In the 21st century, with the increasing global awareness of sustainable development and environmental protection, all walks of life are actively seeking green and environmentally friendly solutions. In the textile industry, recycled yarn is gradually becoming a force that cannot be ignored, leading the industry's green revolution.

Recycled Yarn, or recycled yarn, refers to yarn that is re-spun by recycling waste textiles, plastic bottles and other wastes through a series of complex processing. After removing the bottle cap, removing the label, washing, sorting, crushing, flotation and other treatments, these wastes can be made into PET fragments, and then granulated into slices, and finally transformed into recycled polyester long or short fibers through processes such as melt spinning. These regenerated fibers are then spun into yarns for making various clothing, home textile products, etc.

The biggest highlight of recycled yarn is its environmental protection. Take recycled polyester yarn as an example, it is extracted from polyester waste such as discarded mineral water bottles and Coke bottles. By recycling these wastes, oil consumption and environmental pollution are significantly reduced. According to statistics, each ton of finished recycled polyester yarn can save 6 tons of oil, making an important contribution to reducing air pollution and controlling the greenhouse effect. The production process of recycled yarn usually requires less energy consumption than traditional yarn, further reducing the pressure on the environment.

In addition to environmental protection, recycled yarn also has excellent physical properties. Recycled polyester yarn has the characteristics of high strength, abrasion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance and light weight. Its strength performance is excellent, and the strength of short fibers can reach 2.6~5.7cN/dtex, and high-strength fibers are higher. At the same time, its abrasion resistance is second only to nylon, and is better than other natural fibers and synthetic fibers. These excellent physical properties make recycled yarn have a wide range of application prospects in the fields of clothing and home textiles. Whether it is clothing products such as camisole, shirts, skirts, or household items such as home textiles and curtains, recycled yarn can meet the needs of consumers with its unique texture and performance.

With the in-depth promotion of sustainable development and environmental protection concepts around the world, recycled yarn is becoming more and more popular in the market. Many internationally renowned brands have begun to use recycled yarns in their products to demonstrate their commitment and responsibility to environmental protection. At the same time, consumers are increasingly inclined to choose products made of environmentally friendly materials to support green consumption.
