“Over the past several years the textile industry has embraced recycling PET plastic bottles, and through Saya 365 we are able to offer several options within that technology. But it’s not enough. The industry needs to tackle the next level,” Mike Shih, spokesperson for Saya and Nan Ya, said in a press release. “As the largest performance fibre manufacturer in Taiwan we feel the responsibility, and we have the resources to do the necessary R&D. At Saya we’ve identified cutting scraps and overstock fabrics as a problem that is often ignored, and we’ve developed several new recycling solutions to tackle the issue.”

Saya 365 continues to expand and refine the recycling of PET throughout the world. A proprietary, five-stage filtration process followed by two stages of purification result in batch optimised flakes and pellets ready to be transformed into performance fibres. The result is the Saya renewed difference, with better tenacity strength, dyeing accuracy and brighter whites compared to conventional recycled fibres.

Plastic bottles are sourced from Asia and beyond. Providing consistent and cost-effective supply for sustainable options in polyester fibre. The specialised recycling programme targets clean-up and renewal of discarded plastic bottles in coastal regions that would otherwise migrate out to sea (80 per cent of ocean plastics originate from coastal land). Recycled polyester fibres made in the facility in Lake City, South Carolina, US, receive this unique designation. Options include using locally or internationally recycled bottles and waste for those looking for a USA-based fibre programme with full traceability and transparency.
