The RPET® Journey
A Justified Journey has partnered with the RPET® Certified to create sustainable garments made from recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles. In the coming months, there will be many more RPET® products in the collection. We have a deep love and respect for our planet and are striving to do what we can do reduce the impact we have on the environment. The RPET® Closed Loop Program offers a unique solution to keep plastic bottles out of our landfills, forests and waterways and create unique, comfortable apparel that helps tell our story.
What is RPET®
The production and transportation process of making plastic bottles from PET (polyethylene terephthalate) requires millions of barrels of crude oil and releases harmful pollutants into our environment.
Billions of plastic bottles are produced each year and most end up in our dumps, landfills, and in our oceans. Plastic bottles take over 700 years to decompose.
When PET is recycled, it is ground up into flakes, washed and made into pellets. These pellets can be reused to make similar products.
RPET ® can be used to create new products but requires a lot less energy and creates a much lower level of harmful pollutants.
Utilizing RPET® makes use of millions of disposed plastic bottles already in existence.
The RPET® Certified Process
The Closed Loop system we have in place enables you to return A Justified Journey product back to us at the end of the garments' life to be re-recycled and enables you to get a discount on any new A Justified Journey product.
