Global
Recycled Polyester Textile Market: Introduction
Polyester is
a manmade fiber, synthesized from petrochemical products by the
polymerization process. A majority of polyester used in textile is polyethylene
terephthalate (PET). 60% of the PET produced globally is used to make fibers
for textiles and about 30% is used to manufacture bottles. The annual
global production of textile grade virgin polyester is estimated to require
about 70 million barrels of oil. This necessitates the adoption of recycling
solutions to reduce environmental damage. Recycled Polyester Textile (rPET) is
recovered from end-of-life apparels, bottles, and other polyester products. The
energy required for the production of rPET is lesser than that required
for virgin polyester. It can be either mechanically or chemically recycled,
with feedstock consisting of either pre- or post-consumer waste that can no
longer be used for its intended purpose.
Global Recycled Polyester Textile Market: Trends
Recycled
polyester-based fabrics are ten times stronger than normal polyester fabrics
and can resist the growth of fungi, mold, and bacteria. Using recycled
polyester reduces the dependence on petroleum as raw material for global fabric
needs. Diverting used PET bottles to recycling plants prevents them from
landing into landfills, and thus reduces soil contamination and air and water
pollution. The textile apparel and garments created from recycled polyester is
continuously recyclable for multiple cycles without any quality degradation,
which minimizes wastage. Rapid growth of the textile industry across the globe
and rise in demand for sustainable products manufactured by leading companies
such as Nike, Patagonia, and Otto Group to reduce energy and carbon emissions
are expected to boost the recycled
polyester textiles market during the forecast period. However,
currently, there are many industrial challenges poised for recycling polyester
textiles. Solving quality issues through contaminations of various additives
such as antioxidants, pigments, stabilizers or anti-blocking agent, and
shortening of polymer chain at de-polymerization stage and ensuring constant
industrial feedstock and closing the loop by fostering feedstock from textile
pre- and post-consumer waste is a critical task. Moreover, recycling of
polyester has not yet reached economical scale of production. These challenges
are still to be overcome at the factory level and also in the global recycled
polyester textiles market.
Global Recycled Polyester Textile Market: Segmentation
Based on
application, the global recycled polyester textile market can be divided into
clothing, medical textiles, and others. In terms of region, the recycled
polyester textiles market can be segregated into North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Based on consumption,
North America and Europe are expected to lead the recycled polyester textiles
market during the forecast period. Rise in awareness regarding sustainable
textile production is propelling the demand for recycled polyester textiles for
sustainable textile production. Many companies in countries such as the U.S.,
Italy, and Germany are working together with environmental organizations to
recycle waste plastic bottles to create sustainable products. Additionally,
many fashion designers are adopting sustainable clothing to support the
environment. The recycled polyester textiles market in Asia Pacific is
anticipated to expand at a rapid pace in the near future. Rise in population
and rapid growth of the textile industry in emerging economies such as India
and China are some of the factors that are expected to fuel the recycled
polyester textiles market during the forecast period. Latin America and Middle
East & Africa are less mature region of the recycled polyester textiles
market due to low product awareness. However, product awareness through brand
promotion and capacity expansion by various textile producers are likely to
boost sales in these regions during the forecast period.
