Recycled Yarn from PET Bottles (to Obtain Eco Mark)

The recycled yarn, from PET bottles, is used for our PET yarn products.
The PET yarn, still feeling like nylon, shows high stability in alkali washing.
PET yarn, consisting only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, does not discharge toxic substances when they are burned.
*PET yarn: polyethylene terephthalate
Development & Adoption of Environmental Hormone Rubber

67 substances were nominated as "endocrine disruptors" by the Environmental Agency in May 1998.  The substances include phthalic acid plasticizer, that is used as plasticizer (ex DOP • DBP • DEP • DCHP • BBP) for rubber and is obtained at low cost, and DOP is frequently used.
As the "rubber development & adoption for countermeasure of Endocrine Disruptors" contains no plasticizer similar to endocrine disruptor, the water drained from washing the mats has no toxic effects in the environments.
