RadiciGroup has launched a new, more sustainable fibre made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET bottles. According to the company, it is made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET bottles and is best suited for use in the technical sportswear and medical sectors.

Roberto Parenzan, RadiciGroup polyester area R&D manager, said: "Sustainability concerns so many of our target sectors, from technical sportswear to intimate wear and automotive, to mention just a few. Now the players involved must set forth goals that are clearer, more concrete and more tangible."

The r-Radyarn range is available in a variety of counts, colours and lustres, and in three different versions: textured, interlaced and taslan.

Mr Parenzan added: "In creating Radyarn we have turned plastic waste into a resource and a new raw material that finds its application in sportswear with a smaller measurable environmental footprint, maximum comfort, freshness, breathability, colour solidity and thermoregulation.

"Sustainable, high-performance garments that are, above all, safe. Our Oeko-Tex certified yarns are free of heavy metals and other toxic substances and can be confidently used to manufacture garments with guaranteed safety."
