Confusion around recycled content dispelled by Radici
26/09/2014
The continuous filament yarns – made from post-consumer recycled PET bottles – now comply with the new UNI 11505:2013 standard.
The companies will now indicate the exact percentage of recycled polymer and the percentage of additives.
“The value for our customers is the greater transparency in communication afforded by this certification process,” said Maurizio Vedovati, sales manager of the RadiciGroup PET YARN unit. “By disclosing the precise content of recycled materials, we are giving our customers all the data they need to calculate the exact composition of their own finished products and provide the end user with more information directly on the labels.
“This new standard has contributed – and will continue to contribute – to decreasing the confusion on the market by increasing the credibility of products made from recycled materials.”
