As sustainability becomes a core focus in the fashion industry, recycled materials like rPET fabric are emerging as practical and eco-friendly solutions. Made from post-consumer plastic waste, rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) provides a responsible alternative to virgin polyester. At Rudra Ecovation, we support innovative approaches that align with circular fashion in India and meet global standards such as Oeko-Tex, helping both brands and consumers make environmentally conscious choices.

What is rPET Fabric?

rPET fabric is made by recycling used plastic bottles and other PET waste into fibers, which are then woven into textiles. This process involves collecting, cleaning, melting, and spinning the plastic into yarns used for garments, accessories, and other products.

Key Benefits of rPET Fabric

1. Reduces Plastic Waste
rPET fabric helps divert plastic waste from landfills and oceans. In India, where plastic pollution is a growing concern, using rPET supports circular fashion initiatives and promotes responsible consumption.

2. Conserves Energy and Water
Compared to virgin polyester, rPET fabric production consumes up to 50% less energy and water, making it a more sustainable choice for brands striving to reduce their environmental footprint.

3. Supports Circular Fashion in India
With increasing awareness around sustainability, rPET enables brands to offer eco-conscious products. Circular fashion focuses on recycling and repurposing materials, creating a closed-loop system that reduces waste and maximizes resource efficiency.

4. Meets Global Standards – Oeko-Tex Certified
Many rPET fabrics are Oeko-Tex certified, meaning they are free from harmful substances and safe for both human health and the environment.

5. Offers Durability and Versatility
rPET fabric performs on par with conventional polyester, offering durability, moisture-wicking properties, and comfort, making it suitable for a wide range of fashion and lifestyle products.

6. Enhances Brand Trust
Consumers increasingly seek brands that take responsibility for environmental and ethical concerns. Incorporating rPET fabric into product lines allows brands to stand out as sustainability leaders.
