Ever wondered what happens to the
pet bottle after you have sipped through your favourite cola or the water that
you have just had and thrown the bottle away in a dustbin? Now imagine the bottle coming
back to you in a form that you can actually wear!  

Alcis Sports, a cutting-edge
Indian performance wear brand, has introduced ‘Wonder Tee’ and ‘Wonder Polo’ – T-Shirts which are made from recycled
polyester, each using about eight plastic bottles. These T-Shirts are softer
and lighter than normal ones and come with the latest innovations that garment
manufacturing has to offer.

Generally, T-Shirts are made of
Polyester – a man-made fibre, production of which involves huge quantities of
water, chemicals and use of fossil fuels; moreover, the raw materials and
by-products are toxic and it pollutes water and air, causing several health
hazards.

On the other hand, Wonder Tee and
Wonder Polo use R-PET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate), which is a strong,
durable and recyclable material used for soda bottles, water bottles, food jars
etc, making it an environment-friendly, cost-effective and safe product that
also performs better than 100% virgin polyester.
“Consumers in India are increasingly
getting environmentally conscious, which is getting reflected in their choices
of what they are eating and wearing. A lot of them share a dislike for virgin
polyester, which is an energy-hungry and non-sustainable synthetic fibre.
Wonder Tee and Wonder Polo are unique products which are not only
environment-friendly but at the same time are fashionable, trendy and
affordable and will appeal to everyone,” said Roshan Baid,
Managing Director of Alcis Sports.


Wonder Tee and Wonder Polo are
ultra-light T-Shirts weighing just 85 – 90 grams. They come with Dynamic Drying
finish — which doesn’t
hold sweat and moisture for long, making them extremely comfortable products to
wear and easy to maintain.
The T-Shirts are extremely soft in feel and comes
with Anti-Microbial and Anti-Static finishes, which keeps you feeling fresh
always
The Wonder Tee and Wonder Polo
collection is priced affordably between Rs. 399 and Rs. 699 and is available in
multiple colours across leading online and offline retail formats.

Some facts about RPET:
-90%
less water is used in making recycled polyester versus polyester
-It
requires 70% less energy than virgin fibre production
-Recycling
one plastic bottle saves the equivalent of 3 hours of energy from a 60 watt
light bulb
-1
kg of RPET can keep 60 water bottles out of landfill
-RPET
fabric has a 50% lower carbon footprint than the organic cotton
-Compared
with other synthetic fibers, RPET polyester fabric has almost a 90% lower
carbon footprint than nylon, and 75% lower than polyester!
The steps involved in the
production process of WONDER TEE & WONDER POLO:
–           The
collected PET bottles are sterilized, dried and crushed into small chips
–           The
chips are heated and passed through a spinneret to form strings of yarn
–           This
yard is wound up in spools
–           The
fiber is then passed through a crimping machine to create a fluffy wooly
texture
–           This
yarn is then baled, dyed and knitted into polyester fabric
