Product description:

This 4×2 Recycled Polyester Stretch Rib Fabric is crafted with a sustainable composition of 95% recycled polyester and 5% spandex, combining environmental responsibility with high-performance textile properties. The recycled polyester is derived from post-consumer materials such as plastic bottles, significantly reducing reliance on virgin petroleum-based resources and lowering carbon emissions—making it an ideal choice for eco-conscious brands and manufacturers committed to sustainable fashion.

The fabric features a 4×2 rib knit structure with a brushed finish on both sides, delivering a soft, plush hand feel that enhances comfort against the skin. This double-sided brushing also improves thermal insulation and reduces static buildup, making it particularly suitable for colder seasons or layering applications.

With a fabric weight of 260GSM, this material offers substantial warmth and body without sacrificing flexibility. Its width of 150cm provides ample cutting space, minimizing fabric waste and improving production efficiency during garment manufacturing.

The fabric exhibits excellent two-way stretch with strong recovery—typically around 20%-30% lateral stretch—ensuring comfortable movement while maintaining shape integrity over time. It is especially well-suited for use in cuffs, necklines, waistbands, hems, and other areas requiring both elasticity and structural stability.

Thanks to its high durability, wrinkle resistance, and excellent color fastness (rated above Level 4), this fabric performs reliably through repeated washing and wear. It can be dyed in a wide range of colors and is compatible with various functional finishes such as moisture-wicking, anti-static, or antimicrobial treatments.

Ideal for casual wear, sportswear, loungewear, and undergarments, this eco-friendly rib knit delivers a perfect balance between sustainability, comfort, and performance. Whether used as a main outer fabric in autumn/winter apparel or as a warm inner lining, it supports modern design needs while advancing environmental goals.
