Anta Changes 7 Million 700 Thousand Waste Plastic Bottles To High Quality Garments

In the early September, the Anta brand training class launched a new environmentally friendly clothing product, "training plastic" technology and environmental protection series. In the third quarter of this year, the whole energy saving technology series was equivalent to 7 million 700 thousand plastic bottles recovered from nature, which made a useful exploration for the sustainable development of environmental protection.


Xiamen September 6, 2019 / newsletter / early September, Anta brand training class launched a new environmentally friendly clothing product - "training plastic" call technology environmental protection series. This series of recycled polyester fabrics made from recycled plastic bottles as raw materials and developed by healthy environmental protection technology is not only of excellent quality, but also has attracted widespread consumer attention due to its recycling of "plastic bottle", a refractory material. The average recycled 11 550ML waste plastic bottles can be used to make 1 recycled polyester fabrics required for the call of science and technology clothing. In the third quarter of this year, the whole energy saving technology series was equivalent to 7 million 700 thousand plastic bottles recovered from nature, which made a useful exploration for the sustainable development of environmental protection.

Anta brand collaboration supplier partners, through R & D and innovation, broke through the technical barriers, through the physical and chemical methods of polyester fabrics, achieved efficient regeneration from waste plastic bottles to polyester fibers, and the overall cost reduced by 30%-50% compared with international brands. After more than a year's tackling and hundreds of experiments, the R & D team has overcome many technical problems and become the first sports brand in China to establish inspection standards for regenerated polyester enterprises. At the same time, through the unique technological innovation, the traceable elements can be added to the process of regenerated polyester spinning, so that yarn, fabrics and garments can be traced to ensure that the standards and processes of environmental protection are accurate and complete.

Each product is equipped with special logo of "call for energy technology" and environmental technology instructions, which is convenient for consumers to identify. While practicing environmental protection, Anta also pursues high quality. The technology clothing is different from traditional fabrics in terms of performance, and all the ecological indicators meet the requirements of ecological textile safety.


Guan Xiaotong, Anta's global spokesperson, delivered the new "green technology" new environmental protection proposition. 11 recycled plastic bottles were called =1.


According to a survey by the United Nations Environment Programme, about 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the marine [1] every year. These plastic wastes have not been completely degraded for hundreds of years, causing serious damage to the global marine ecosystem. According to statistics, only 9% of the waste plastics in the world are recycled [2]. Sorting recovery is only the first step in dealing with plastic waste. How to reuse waste plastics is the key to solve the problem of plastic pollution. According to preliminary estimates, the 7 million 700 thousand recycled plastic bottles weighing about 100 tons were recycled and recycled, which is equivalent to 1/80000 of the annual influx of plastic waste. Anta energy technology has provided new solutions for recycling and recycling of waste plastic products. More environmental protection technology can be used to provide more protection for the natural environment.
