Nonwoven fabrics including recycled polypropylene

A method of making a nonwoven fabric, comprising:

• (a) forming a first polymeric melt comprising (i) a first polymer component and (ii) optionally one or more first additives, wherein the first polymer component comprises a first recycled-polypropylene (rPP);
• (b) producing a first nonwoven layer comprising a first meltblown layer, the first meltblown layer comprising a plurality of first meltblown fibers comprising meltblown shot, meltblown ropes, or both;
• and
• (c) consolidating the plurality of first meltblown fibers to form the nonwoven fabric,
• wherein the meltblown shot, the meltblown rope, or both is randomly and irregularly distributed throughout the first meltblown layer, on a first outer surface of the first meltblown layer, or both.
