Custom RPET recycled fabric wristbands
RPET stands for recycled PET — polyester spun from post-consumer plastic bottles. These wristbands give the same satin-smooth, full-colour print as standard fabric bands while using recycled content, so they are a lower-waste choice for events and causes.
The non-locking slider lets the band be taken off and reused. For another lower-impact option, see our bamboo fabric wristbands.
