Paxar uses the highest quality yarns for all its products. The yarns follow steps in the manufacturing process: "post industrial" fiber waste and "post consumer" plastics are collected; unique material conversion is used to chop, grind, melt and reformulate the waste; 100% recycled chip is formed; chip is melted and extruded; and first quality recycled yarn is produced.
