2021 Highlights CIRCULAR ECONOMY CIRCULAR ECONOMY A circular economy is needed for packaging so it never becomes waste or pollution. Packaging that cannot be eliminated or reusedmust be kept in circulation – in the economy and out of the environment. For this to happen, we need dedicated, ongoing and adequate funding for collection, sorting and recycling. The Easy Mask • Constructed with our DejaTM performance yarn, which is 100% rPET; • DyeCoo’s CO2 dyeing technology does not use any water; • Stoll’s seamless knitting technology lowers manufacturing waste to less than 1%. The mask can be readily dismantled, allowing pieces to be changed and reused rather than discarded.
