Antolin said it had completed validation of a recycled polyester fabric using Seaqual Yarn, a material consisting of recycled plastics: 10% marine origin and 90% land based sources.
The marine plastic comes from waste recovered from oceans, beaches, rivers, and estuaries, while land based waste gives a second life to consumer waste from fully recyclable plastic (PET).

The new material is suitable for door trim panels as its physical properties are almost identical to virgin polyester.
The company has also successfully tested associated industrial processes such as press lamination, cutting, adhesive impregnation and covering.
Antolin worked with yarn supplier Antex and fabric supplier Textile Santanderina.
