Recycled polyester yarn has proven to be an environmentally friendly option, alternative to the conventional polyester, as it helps to reduce waste and protect the environment in general. In this article, the reader will learn about the production of recycled polyester yarn and the key stages in the recycling of waste into textile grade polyester threads.
Collection and Sort of Post-consumer Waste
The very first step in the production of the recycled polyester yarn is the sourcing of post-consumer waste such as used plastic containers or worn out clothes. Once the materials are collected, they are usually sorted in such a way that only fitting candidates are left for recycling.
Washing and Drying
Any soiled items that are collected are washed to cleanse them of any domestic waste. After soaking the doth, all the items are dried to make the items ready for the upcoming stage of processing.
Shredding and pelletizing
The dry and clean materials are cut into smaller pieces and this is achieved by shredding. Then the pieces will be shaped into pellets, and these pellets are used in the manufacture of recycled polyester yarn
Yarning Spin
The hardened melt is then returned to the extruder and passed through a spinneret for the formation of filament stripes and woven long threads are made by drawing and twisting them. On this process different types of yarn can be produced. Among those are staple and filament yarns.
Quality Control And Finishing
The spun yarn undergoes quality control tests, which ensure that they meet the set targets in terms of strength, durability and consistency. Additional finishing treatment may also be performed on the yarn for certain claims, such as soft touch or color durability.
