I can’t say about every one of their products but in my experience, Patagonia usually use 100% post consumer recycled plastics to make any polyester used in their products.

Yeah, they've done that forever, I just don't get on with the stuff, gets stinky too quick (talking about underwear/t shirts). Also the microfibres issue.

Yea, they also repair your stuff for free.
I wrote them about a jacket that was like 7 years old and I didn't have a receipt or anything and they fixed two zippers free of charge.

Plastic or natural materials?
Fjällräven is expensive for you? In that case you're mostly looking at overseas manufacture.
Considered NOS military stuff? That option is also obviously fraught.
Patagonia has not been an option for me for years due to their embrace of plastic materials and overseas manufacture. Obviously important in the development of organic cotton, but they were early adopters of moving manufacture offshore with no change in pricing. Likely just my own bias though.
