When you wake up in the morning, the soft sheets that touch your fingertips, the warm blanket that wraps you up;

 the light backpack on your back when you go out, the non-slip household carpet under your feet... Perhaps the same "green material" - recycled polyester short fiber - is hidden in these daily necessities. This kind of fiber, made from discarded plastic bottles and old textiles, is being integrated into life for various purposes, not only reducing environmental burden, but also adding color to quality life.​

In the field of home textiles, recycled polyester short fiber is “comfortable”. It combines the softness of cotton with the durability of chemical fiber. After processing, it can be made into bed sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases and other bedding products. It has a delicate touch and is not easy to pill. It can still maintain its shape after repeated washing. More importantly, every ton of recycled polyester staple fiber produced can reduce approximately 6 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to recycling 120,000 plastic bottles. Nowadays, many home textile brands have launched "regenerated fiber series" to allow consumers to enjoy a comfortable sleep while practicing environmental protection concepts.​

The apparel industry is the “main battlefield” for recycled polyester staple fiber. Sports brands often use it to make quick-drying clothes and sports pants. Its moisture absorption and perspiration performance is comparable to traditional polyester fiber, and it is lighter in weight. In casual clothing, it is blended with cotton and linen to improve the elasticity and wear resistance of the fabric, making jeans and sweatshirts more durable. In winter down jackets and cotton-padded jackets, recycled polyester short fiber filling is a high-quality alternative to traditional down. It not only has strong warmth retention, but also avoids the environmental problems of animal breeding, making it the first choice for vegetarians and environmentally friendly enthusiasts.​

In the field of home decoration, recycled polyester short fiber shows its "practical nature". Household carpets and floor mats are mostly made of it. The tightly interwoven fiber structure can effectively prevent slipping and has strong stain resistance. Juice, dust, etc. can be cleaned with a simple wipe. It is also commonly used as the filling of sofa pillows and back cushions. It has high fluffiness and is not easy to deform, and can still maintain a full state after long-term use. Some curtain fabrics are also blended with recycled polyester short fibers, which have excellent light-shielding and drape properties. They can also resist ultraviolet aging and extend their service life.​

It can be seen even in small objects in life. The fabrics of shopping bags and storage boxes are woven with recycled polyester short fibers, which are tough, wear-resistant and foldable for storage; the plush jackets of children's toys are safer and more skin-friendly, avoiding the irritation of chemical fibers to children's skin.​
From discarded plastics to daily necessities, recycled polyester short fiber has been used in a variety of ways to prove that environmental protection and practicality are not mutually exclusive. As technology advances, its performance continues to be upgraded. In the future, it will penetrate more deeply into every corner of life and weave a greener and better daily life for us.
