Recycled Polyester HI-Vis Fabric: Safety Meets Sustainability The textile industry has increasingly turned its focus toward sustainable innovation, and Recycled Polyester High-Visibility (HI-Vis) Fabric stands as a key development in the protective workwear sector. This material successfully marries the non-negotiable safety requirements of industrial apparel with the growing global need for eco-conscious manufacturing. Recycled Polyester HI-Vis fabric, often referred to as rPET HI-Vis, is a synthetic material derived primarily from post-consumer plastic waste, such as used PET bottles. This waste material is given a "second life" by transforming it into the high-performance fibers necessary for safety garments. The "HI-Vis" component means the fabric is engineered to meet strict international standards (like ANSI/ISEA 107 or EN ISO 20471) for conspicuity. This is achieved through: Polyester 85% cotton 15% Hi Vi yellow, Hi Vi orange: 270gsm Cotton 50% recycle polyester 50% Hi Vi yellow, Hi Vi orange: 280gsm
