Repost from Edward Snowden
The majority of recycled polyester is made from PET plastic. Typically old plastic bottles that get shredded, melted down, and spun into synthetic fibers
This is turned into leggings, sports bras, workout tops, underwear, pajamas and clothes we wear directly on our skin for hours
But it doesn’t stop there, it’s treated where chemicals. The new clothing gets treated with dyes, finishes, stretch chemicals, odor-control coatings and more
This is all true
The vast majority around 99% of recycled polyester in clothing comes from post-consumer PET bottles, which are shredded, melted, and spun into fibers for activewear, leggings, underwear and more
Recycling doesn’t turn plastic into a natural fiber, it remains a petroleum-derived synthetic polymer
Just because it’s “Recycled” doesn’t mean it’s non-toxic, natural, or breathable: It doesn’t magically become skin-friendly or healthy just because it had a previous life as a bottle
All polyester sheds microplastics during washing and wear. Recent 2025 studies found that recycled polyester often sheds 55% more microfibers than virgin polyester and the particles are smaller. This makes them potentially more harmful as they spread easier and penetrate deeper
Recycled polyester requires additional chemical processing, dyes, and performance coatings for odor control, stretc my and more
This results in a chemical cocktail you’re wearing directly on your skin
