Wed Apr 17 | Recycled Polyester Claims - Challenges & Solutions
Why are there more claims of recycled polyester than the world’s capacity to produce it? It’s cheaper to produce and hard to prove. Aside from integrity and fairness, there will soon be more reasons for verification: The digital product passport requirements, traceability laws, growing consumer awareness. We’ll discuss the current situation, laws that will affect recycled claims and different approaches for testing recycled polyester.
