It is therefore only logical that we are also sustainable when it comes to synthetic fibre textiles,\u201c says <strong>Johannes Mahrholdt<\/strong>, Managing Director Purchasing Non Food International. \u201eThe quality of sportswear made from recycled plastic is no different to conventional goods.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Clothing is produced using innovative technology<\/h2>\n<p>For the production of a sports shirt, plastic from, for example <strong>approx. 12 PET bottles<\/strong> required. In a modern process, these <strong>Cleaned and shredded<\/strong>. The flakes are melted down and <strong>spun into threads<\/strong>. The interwoven threads form the <strong>Recycled polyester material<\/strong>, from which the shirt can be sewn.<\/p>\n<p>The reuse of plastic waste has a number of advantages. When plastic waste is converted into sportswear<strong> No crude oil<\/strong> consumed. The <strong>Energy consumption<\/strong> in the production process compared to the production of a new shirt is<strong> by half<\/strong> and CO2 emissions are also lower.
