Recycled Polyester Canopy
At Hercules Instant Shelter, we have released a recycled printed canopy that is made of 100% recycled polyester. You might be wondering about the benefits of this, and why we’re using it.
What is Recycled polyester?
Recycled polyester is made out of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate.) This is the material you find in clear plastic water bottles, and it’s a sustainable alternative to virgin polyester.
What are the benefits of Recycled PET?
Recycling plastic to create this fabric prevents it from going to landfill. The recycled polyester we use has the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification.
The production of recycled polyester also uses 80% less energy, about 90% less water and 65% lower CO2 emissions than the production of virgin polyester.
