Eco friendly knitted polyester flexible waterproof breathable stretch fabric by yard.Single-use plastics are wreaking havoc on our environment, and many brands have worked out ways to give landfill-bound plastic bags, bottles, and textiles a second life.Recycled polyester is made from the #1 type of plastic (hence the name RPET), often recycled plastic bottles.Like virgin polyester (and most synthetic fabrics), RPET is versatile and can take the form of many different feels and functions—from thin and light stretchy sustainable activewear to thick and fluffy fleece.Spandex fibers are very stretchy and can be blended together with other fibers at different ratios to produce a desired percentage of stretch. The blended fibers are then spun into the yarn that is used to knit or weave into fabric.Stretch fabric is one of the essential textile fabrics that can help you save from those embarrassing moments. There are unlimited sewing options available for this fabric, and it is easier to work with them.It’s been the go-to sustainable activewear fabric for brands like Patagonia and Reformation for years.However, aside from also releasing microplastics, PET can only be recycled so much before it degrades in quality to the point of needing to be discarded. There are also concerns about some of the toxic substances in PET bottles and the effects upon the wearer (like BPA in sports bras), so non-toxic certifications are important here.The fabric has the following properties:It is lightweight, the weight of this fabric means that coats made out of it will be light and easy to wear.It’s waterproof,water rolls right off it, and won't penetrate the fabric, keeping you dry.It’s breathable,this fabric has a breathable coating, which helps prevent sweat and prevents you from getting too warm.So,with the above characteristics, this fabric is very suitable for swimwear,underwear,fishing cloth,and so on.
