Riri Group has launched its Spring/Summer 2022 collection of zippers made from recycled polyester. As per Sourcing Journal, the recycled polyester used in tapes for zips is made from recycled polyester fibers—a blend of 20 per cent pre-consumer waste and 80 per cent post-consumer waste. All the recycled polyester is GRS (Global Recycled Standard)-certified. It will help the company cut its carbon footprint by 3 per cent, or the equivalent of 169 return flights from Geneva to New York.

The collection offers three different ranges. The Rejoice range offers zippers made in bright and vibrant colors of Buenos Aires. The range focuses on zips and buttons of natural materials. The range also includes Copper jeans buttons with a special water-based paint finish as well as hemp-derived bio-plastic eyelets. Buttons, chains and pullers in the collection are either made of gold, silver or stainless steel while tapes are made with refined materials such as leather and satin.
