Currently, only 14% of this is made from recycled content, even if recycled polyester has a significantly lower carbon footprint than its conventional counterpart. To keep the industry on track toward its climate targets, Textile Exchange has launched the “2025 Recycled Polyester Challenge”, which has a long-term vision of bringing the percentage of recycled polyester up to 90% by 20301.
