Polyester 

The polyester fibre is a versatile synthetic fibre that is easy to carefor. But it also uses large amounts of energy to produce, is based on non-renewablepetroleum and it is non-biodegradable. Whilst we see a role for polyester as a keyfibre in the near term, these characteristics mean that we need to increase oursourcing of preferred materials and reduce virgin materials, as well as investigatealternative fibres for long-term viability.
