In modern clothing, yes and no. The majority of the material is in fact recycled plastics mixed with other synthetic and natural fibers. However your classic wool fleece, is still mostly if not entirely sheep's wool.
Non-recycled fleece is typically made from synthetic fibers, primarily polyester derived from petroleum-based resources. The production process involves converting these materials into fibers, which are then knitted or woven into a soft fabric. Non-recycled fleece often lacks the environmental benefits of recycled fleece, which is made from repurposed plastic bottles or other post-consumer materials.
Polyester fleece is made of plastic because it is primarily derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a type of plastic commonly used in various products, including beverage bottles. This material is chosen for its durability, lightweight nature, and insulating properties, making it ideal for clothing and outdoor gear. Additionally, using recycled PET helps reduce environmental impact by repurposing plastic waste. Overall, polyester fleece combines practicality with sustainability in its production.
