China Recycled Polyester Full Drawn Yarn Raw White Bright Factory

​Polyester is a synthetic fabric that has become increasingly popular over the years.

Samsonite CEO Kyle, Asia Pacific and Middle East President Subrata, Supply Chain Director Paul and others visited the HAILI Recycling Industrial Park and negotiated to further expand the business cooperation of Samsonite's high-end customized Recyclex fabrics and yarns.

Recycled polyester is a sustainable yarn. It offsets use of crude oil, conserving precious natural resources & energy. The difference between virgin polyester and recycled polyester is that the former is created from scratch using fossil fuels, whereas the latter relies on post-consumer plastic. Wasted polyester is toxic to the earth. Among the trend is recycled plastic bottles being turned into fabrics which are considered sustainable to keep from them piling in the landfills. From a strictly environmental point of view, recycled polyester is more sustainable than virgin polyester.

Polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) is derived from a chemical reaction involving petroleum, air, and water. This artificial fiber is comprised of purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and monotheluene glycol (MEG). Polyester is thermoplastic, meaning it can be melted and reformed. When making polyester, chemists melt polyester pellets and force them through small holes (spinnerets). On the exit side of the spinnerets, the continuous filaments of what we know as polyester fibers solidify. The size and shape of the hole dictate the shape and diameter of the fibers. The fibers are solid polymer; there are no void spaces inside the fibers. These continuous filaments—called “tow”—can be cut to any length (there is no length distribution, all fibers are manufactured to be perfectly homogeneous) to produce staple fibers for use in textiles and nonwovens, or they can be left as a continuous monofilament, which resembles fishing line.

Polyester is a polyester fiber, which is a synthetic fiber made of polyester made by polycondensation of organic dibasic acid and dihydric alcohol.

From January to June 2022, a total of 1.628 million tons of domestic polyester filaments were exported, a slight decrease of 0.3% year-on-year. Among them, the export in the first quarter was 781,000 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 13.5% due to the high base last year; the export in the second quarter was 847,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 16.1%, mainly due to the explosive growth of exports from May to June.
