Polyester
What is polyester?
Polyester is made from polymers and the material is durable, light and easy to clean. Most people know polyester from clothing, but it is also widely used in the production of packaging, bottles, containers and much more.
Polyester's popularity within the textile industry has been increasing since its introduction. But beyond clothing, polyester has also found its way into the world of packaging, due to its flexibility, durability and ability to withstand various environmental conditions.
In a world where quality and cost-effectiveness go hand in hand, polyester has cemented its position as a favorite within both the textile and packaging industries.
Properties of polyester:
Despite being synthetic, polyester has certain environmental benefits. The material is incredibly durable, which means that polyester products often have a longer lifespan, which can reduce the need for replacement and thus resource consumption. In addition, polyester recycling has become a growing practice where old polyester can be turned into new products.
