Eco-Recycled Ties
MADE FROM 100% RECYCLED COLOURED YARNS
Our ties are manufactured here in the UK using Eco-recycled yarns.
The Process
1. Bottles are recovered from waste recycling bins and sorted.
2. Bottles are cleaned and converted into Polymer chips made of 100% PET Bottles.
3. The recycled chips are then converted into high performance recycled polyester yarns.
4. Yarns are then dyed to specific shades.
5. Yarns are woven here in the UK into fabric.
6. Fabric is manufactured into the ties here in the UK.
