RECYCLED POLYESTER
Fabric made from recycled plastic bottles is commonly known as ""recycled polyester"" or ""rPET"" (recycled polyethylene terephthalate). It is an alternative to traditional polyester fabric, which is derived from petroleum-based sources.
ORGANIC COTTON
Organic farmers don’t use toxic hazardous pesticides and artificial fertilisers, which helps keep water, soil and air safe and clean.
