What is recycled fleece (eco-fleece)?

Home :: What is recycled fleece (eco-fleece)?

Recycled fleece, also known as eco-fleece, is a fabric made from a high-content of recycled soda bottles (#1/PET). While not a natural fiber, it is still considered earth-friendly by many people because it is made from recycled materials.

Because eco-fleece fibers are of a lower-grade than the original PET material, they are technically a downcycled, rather than recycled, product.

Recycled fleece is wonderfully soft and provides superior warmth with minimal weight, while wicking away moisture--making it an ideal fabric for outerwear, diaper covers and soft-soled baby shoes. It is an ideal vegan alternative to wool.

Our Customers Say ...

"Customer service is exceptional and very attentive. I was updated on all parts of the ordering process via email messages. Plus, I had chosen a faster, more expensive shipping method (UPS 3 day), but they wrote and told me it was faster and cheaper to send via UPS Ground because of my location. Highly recommend this store and will definitely shop here again!"
