Push against plastic bottles for recycled polyester at Puma

Sports group Puma has announced the scaling up of its textile recycling programme, Re:Fibre. It said it would use fabric developed using Re:Fibre in its professional and replica football shirts from 2024 onwards.

There are four steps in the Re:Fibre process. The first is to collect and sort textile waste, followed by shredding and mixing the collected materials. After that, the material is dissolved, filtered and polymerised, removing dyes through a chemical recycling process. Lastly, the newly produced polymers can be spun and made into Re:Fibre fabric.
