Global Recycling Day

Post by Julie Seel
Mar 18 2025

Global Recycling Day is March 18 2025 and the theme for this year's event is "Breaking Barriers: A Revolutionary Blueprint for the Waste Management Crisis". Here at WestPoint Home, we have two manufacturing plants that have long served as a true solution for plastic waste. We currently use tons of post-consumer plastic waste each year as the source of our recycled polyester (rPET) fiber. We use rPET as a down-alternative fiber fill in products like pillows and comforters and as the thread in weaving certain sustainable fabrics.
In addition to the extensive use of rPET, WestPoint Home enjoys an 84% recycling rate across its entire global footprint. We are truly a global leader in textile innovation and a vital part of worldwide recycling solutions. To learn more about our sustainability initiatives, please visit our website.
