Gradient Fuchsia Windbreaker is made with the highest quality recycled polyester. Lightweight and resistant, the production of recycled PET is estimated to reduce CO2 emissions by 32% compared to normal polyester. Additionally, recycled polyester can help reduce the extraction of crude oil and natural gas from Earth to produce more plastic. As polyester accounts for around 60 percent of world PET production, roughly double what is used in plastic bottles, the development of a non-virgin supply chain for polyester fiber has the potential to have a huge positive impact on reducing the consumptions of global energy and resources.
