Sew-all Thread 100 m rPET
For the love of the environment
Be responsible for the environment – conserve natural resources! The „Sew-all Thread 100 m rPET“ is the new sewing thread from Gütermann creativ made of 100 % recycled polyester.
The special advantages of the Sew-all Thread rPET lie in the recycled raw material. Less energy is required to manufacture the raw material and the CO2 emissions are significantly reduced – this conserves the environment and saves natural resources.
The raw material for these environmentally-friendly threads is provided by recycled beverage bottles made of 100 % PET (polyethylenterephtalate). The collected PET bottles are washed in different stages, shredded into so-called flakes and melted.
Thanks to the Micro Core Technology®, an environmentally-friendly sewing thread with excellent sewing properties can be produced with the existing production facilities and processes.
The microfilaments that are obtained from the granulate then form the basis for production of the sewing thread.
The reels for the Sew-all Thread 100 m rPET are made of 100 % polystyrol (PS) and can be collected in single varieties, and then disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner in the recycling points provided in towns and cities.
