rPET Fabrics
Estimates suggest that polyester made from PET plastics take 450+ years to decompose in landfills because they lack the required UV light to break down. The plastic pollution crisis is real. We work with our factory and suppliers to make only products we really need and strive to reduce the amount of plastic packaging and use of raw/virgin materials. Using rPET saves energy and produces fewer emissions. The process can use anywhere from 33-53% less energy making recycled polyester than virgin polyester. RPET diverts millions of plastic bottles from landfills and turns into new things, like Bumbleride performance stroller fabrics.
We have now been using recycled PET since 2011 at Bumbleride. Millions of plastic bottles have been recycled into Bumbleride fabrics. Being eco is not a trend. We are constantly evolving and testing new materials. We continue to research new materials that maintain our high standards for performance, while reducing our impact on the environment.
