Polyester is made up of the monomer which is a combination of Ethane-1,2-diol and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (terephthalic acid).  

The polyesters have a wide number of uses depending upon the orientation of the different monomers present in the polymer.

It is sometimes biodegradable when it is made up of cutin present in the cuticles of the plants. They are blended with cotton to produce synthetic clothes. They are mostly shrinkage resistant, wrinkle resistant and fire resistant.
