Non-woven rPET

Grounded’s non-woven rPET is made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. The non-woven process means it’s not interlaced but bonded mechanically or thermally, creating a strong, durable fabric suitable for hundreds of uses. It uses less water than traditional textiles and has a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to virgin polyester.
