Powertex Round slings PRS r-PET are made from high-strength recycled polyester (r-PET) yarn having a robust protective cover. Because it is made from r-PET yarn, this product has up to 65% CO2 reduction* compared to the standard PRS round sling.
Because of this sustainability enhancement, the product is approved for inclusion in Lifting Solution Group's Aspire range™. In November 2023, this product won the prestigious LEEA Sustainable Award.
