RECYCLED POLYESTER GARMENTS

THE FOLLOING ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY MY LONG TIME FRIEND DOUG HOSCHEK. HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT POLYESTER FIBER THAN ALL OF THE MAKERS OF OUTDOOR CLOTHING IN THE INDUSTRY AND HERE HE EXPLAINS WHY FIBER MADE FROM REPROSED PRODUCTS SUCH AS WATER BOTTLES OR CLOTHING IS NOT HEALTHY.

BUT FIRST I FOR GOT TO NOTE THE SPECIAL PRICE FOR VACUUM PACKING $85.00.

RESTORATION IS THE NEW OUTDOOR AND ATHLEISURE TEXTILE ANNOUNCEMENT TO ALL AMERICANS AND ESPECIALLY IMMIGRANTS NEW TO OUR GEAT COUNTRY

I am Doug Hoschek the author and self-publisher of my book Polar Pollution Outdoor Memoirs of Polarfleece released in 2012 on Amazon.

At that time Green Peace DETOX as named called out the Nike brand to stop global pollution of textiles especially PET fossil fuels known to all consumer as Polyester.

In response most textile brands in all areas of fiber to fabric manufacturing began a theme called sustainable and began to recycle PET polyester waste in all kinds of consumer packages and leading have to have products. Now the biggest PET bottle also made with PET being extruded into a film rather than a fabric. Water bottles have taken over into trillions vs the original soda bottles first made for soft drink companies.

This is nothing more than waste and it remains unknown the issues of safety to humans drinking from these bottles. It is clearly knowing the PET bottles have polluted our oceans and keep killing far too many species of marine life and bigger protected wildlife species.

This “spin the bottle game” gets credited to Yvon Chouinard the owner of Patagonia. Simply because he has published in many sources that he created recycled bottles into polyester fibers for fleece that he also states he invented fleece. These claims area boldface lies. As is the bottles being used safe for humans to wear. Green Peace said in 10 years from 2012 the Detox issue wil be reviewed to see where it stands.

It is not the purpose of my RESTORATION LETTER TO TRY to undo the claims. I can share that my website www.portlandwoolenmills.com covers this issue along with other facts that are very important to be out in public lands and we wearing RECYCLED PET bottles because of the extreme issues of MELTING AND DRIPPING when exposed to flame. On the About page of the site is my live tv presentation. www.portlandwoolenmills.com is a live interview I did demonstrating the quick flammable melting Dripping on Public TV in Seattle to help stop the polyester base layers being worn in combat by our Special Forces and other military branches in Iraq.

My career with PET chemicals and polyester fibers began in 1967 at Celanese Fibers Marketing Company part of the Celanese Corp. A patent existed on a new very strong and warm polyester filament fiber that I branded as Polarguard skiwear insulation.

The US military quickly used it too in both insulated outer wear and sleeping bags and continues with it 60 years later. Next came an exclusive knitting polyester fiber to copy wool fleece blankets that I called thru my invention and branded and sold including marketing as Polarfleece. Polarfleece literally changed how folks wear clothes outdoors and began the development of what is called layers.

Both Celanese and Dupont were the exclusive makers of the chemicals and textile fibers. Never was it planned or approved to RECYCLE POLYESTER BACK INTO CONSUMER CLOTHING AND BEDDING.

This known and enforced by only allowing waste fibers to be recycled into INDUSTRIAL TEXTILES by both public traded FIBER/ CHEMICAL COMPANIES. Celanese and Dupont.

Consumers today can easily not be aware of what I am writing and calling it RESTORATION.

Reaching out asking you to practice RERSTORING and fossil fuel textiles made with virgin polyester and now nylon too from the same decades the liner and shell fabrics for polyester insulations and fleece.

The reasons to RECYCLE are clear once you take DETOX and add Restoration to it. Fossil fuels were double downed in a foolish gamble to bury the issue in textile fiber/ yarns / fabrics and far to, many common uses of apparel.

Plus, a yet to be discovered the life of the finished textiles including gear like backpacks will not last as long and begin to shed fiber waste.

WHY BELIEVE ME vs outdoor folks like the owner of Patagonia? Simple I worked for and with both fiber companies Celanese and Dupont long before these brands and owners got into the textile business.

What I have is shared calling it RESTRORATION are honest facts based on my lifetime career since 1967 supplying including inventing to all the outdoor brands including My Chouinard. Textiles made with PET polyester virgin fibers.
