rPET is recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
After the original PET containers(like plastic bottles) are used by consumers, they are returned via a recycling program to a facility that sorts, cleans, and transforms the plastic into rPET flakes or pellets,and then make into fabrics.
We have enough plastic trash in our landfills already.
By recycling PET products, we’re offering them a second life!
By using recycled (and recyclable) materials, we’re reducing our use of energy, water, and greenhouse gases. In addition, our base is made from biodegradable, recyclable, 100% natural tree rubber which provides both excellent cushion and great traction for wet floors.
