Recycling Process
Lefrik uses recycled polyester, which has been mechanically recycled. To achieve this, PET bottles are collected and transported to a recycling plant, where they are sorted and washed to remove impurities and non-plastic components such as labels. Once cleaned, the plastic bottles are ground into flakes, which are then dried, melted, and shredded into pellets for the manufacture of new products. These pellets are melted again, passed through a spinneret, and spun into long fibers, which are then spun into a new thread. The thread is wound onto spools, baled, and knitted into a new recycled polyester fabric. This fabric is then dyed under the OEKO TEX 100 standard, which guarantees that it is free from toxic chemical substances, and coated with TPE to make it water-repellent. Finally, the fabric is transported to Lefrik’s cut and sew supplier, who creates the final product.
