POLYNEON GREEN | RECYCLED POLYESTER EMBROIDERY THREAD

Premium quality machine embroidery thread made of 100% recycled post-consumer PET bottles. Bottles made from PET can be recycled and used to manufacture new bottles, packaging or in this case fibres to produce new POLYNEON green thread.

Created in response to the global demand to reduce plastic bottles, with POLYNEON green, we are reducing the amount of plastic in the environment and making the textile industry more sustainable.

RESPONDING TO THE GLOBAL DEMAND TO REDUCE PLASTIC WASTE

Plastic pollution is one of the most talked about environmental issues, it’s a huge problem that requires fundamental changes in how plastics are produced, used and ultimately disposed of. One solution is the serious issue of recycling, when waste is converted into new materials. It then becomes a valuable resource and one of the critical reasons why Madeira has been working hard to develop new, economically viable products from sustainable resources.

THE POST-CONSUMER WASTE THREAD LIFECYCLE

Manufactured using recycled transparent bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The process gives post-consumer waste a second life. By using existing materials, no new waste is created and non-renewable resources are saved.

  1. Recycling of PET plastic bottles…
  2. bottles are then shredded into flakes…
  3. then formed into chips…
  4. melted into liquid and extruded through micro holes…
  5. the recycled fibres are spun into an amazing new thread, POLYNEON green!
