Recycling Bags

Used cotton textiles are usually burned or end up in landfills. In both cases, the CO2 that had been bound up to that point is released in significant quantities. Joytex® helps ensure that this is less and less the case and keeps the bound greenhouse gas out of our atmosphere - because cotton products are recyclable. They are sorted by colour, go into the shredder, are shredded and can then be used as new yarns and fabrics for use in new textiles. However, the fibers of the yarns are shorter and have an irregular surface. To compensate for this, 20 % recycled polyester fabrics are added. This creates a high-quality mixture of 100 % recycled textile waste.

The bags in the new R-PET product group look like bags made of normal, non-woven PP-material. But there‘s a lot more to them than that – namely, lots of old PET bottles. The empty bottles are collected, cleaned and shredded. Finally, the material is melted and processed into a non-woven fleece, which is used to make the Joytex® R-PET bags. The method is especially energy-saving, because there is no need to process oil into polymers. Joytex®‘s high quality standards ensure that these bags are long-lasting, robust advertising medium for your brand.
