Double take back at Poole

Poole Company, a leading manufacturer and distributor of both recycled and virgin polyester for nonwovens and textiles, has launched a new Full-Circle programme for its EcoSure 100% PCR (post consumer recycled) PET.

The company will accept and recycle any item manufactured with its EcoSure fibre, repurposing the material again and extending its intended lifecycle.
David Poole, CEO of Poole Company, commented,

“With Poole’s EcoSure Full-Circle programme, we are able to take any recycled EcoSure fibre products – from apparel and linens to household wipes – and recycle them again,” said David Poole, CEO of the company, which is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. “This means we wil have not just diverted material from a landfill once, but twice. Many plastic bottles face ‘end of life’ as soon as they become empty. Poole Company is able to change the course and add new life – twice or more – into something already classified as dead. It’s a full circle programme that truly supports a never-ending cycle of reuse.

EcoSure is produced using 100% post-consumer recycled PET Content as certified under the SCS Recycled Content Certification Programme. Studies from NAPCOR determined that the use of PCR polyester fibre versus virgin polyester fiber reduces energy consumption by 84% and greenhouse gas emissions by 71%.

EcoSure is a very flexible programme for textile distributors and manufacturers and has no revenue-driven strings attached. Its sole purpose is to further extend the intended lifeline of a product and better benefit the environment.
