RPET Apparel is another environmentally friendly fabric blend. RPET stands for Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, or recycled PET.  RPET is made from recycled polyesters, recycled plastics and pure, 100% organic cotton. RPET fabric blends are usually in a 50/50 ratio; we sell organic cotton apparel and stock tri-blend clothing as well.  Furthermore, 90% less water is used in the making of RPET clothing, dramatically decreasing Royal Apparel’s negative environmental impact. Our products that contain RPET yarn are made using recycled bottles. The amount of bottles per style may vary.
