New RAVIAL ECO Collection

Times are changing and we are changing with them! That is why we are incorporating a new line of recycled polyester: ECO-BAIKAL model:.

In 2012, Greenpeace published its report "TOXIC STRIPS: THE STREET OF POLLUTION" in which it explained how the textile factories that supply the world's major fashion brands hide the toxic trail of their manufacturing processes. The conclusion is simple: fashion, like many other aspects of consumer society, is not sustainable at the current rate..

What is recycled polyester?

Recycled polyester is made from recycled materials: PET and polyester fabrics. By choosing recycled polyester fabrics, we achieve the same result as with traditional polyester fibres, but with a smaller environmental footprint.

There is no difference between the two fibres: both classic and recycled polyester can be handled and printed in the same way. The only difference is the environmental impact:

Recycled polyester reduces the demand for oil extraction and consequently the ecological impact.
The production of recycled polyester creates 75% less CO₂ emissions than virgin polyester, which is better for the climate.
Polyester already created is reused, giving it a new post-consumer and post-industrial life.

How do I know that a fabric is Recycled Polyester?

To know if a fabric is Recycled Polyester, we must make sure that it has the Global Recycled Standard ((Global Recycled Standard [GRS).] en inglés).

This is international certification that guarantees and assures the recycled content of a product, whether it is a finished product or an intermediate product, such as a yarn for the manufacture of fabric.
