♻️ From Plastic Bottles to Recycled Drapery ♻️

 

 

WHAT IS RECYCLED POLYESTER YARN?

 

Recycled Polyester yarn is made from post-consumer and post-industrial recycled PET products such as plastic bottles and packaging. Recycled Polyester lowers the demand for new petroleum-based products, thus reducing significantly the carbon footprint.

 

Two suppliers noteworthy to mention are Maurice Kain and James Dunlop.

Maurice Kain presents environmental luxury in Deserts and Forests Collection.

 

Made from 100% Recycled Polyester - each metre of fabric contains 81 one litre plastic bottles that have been recycled and prevented from entering landfill.

The collection incorporates a selection of sheer and solid drapery fabrics across 5 beautiful earth-inspired tones. 

 

James Dunlop Kumo recycled presents a modern perspective on fibre construction. Existing PET plastic bottles are reconstructed and repurposed into yarn. Embracing the imperfect quality of natural materials, Kumo Recycled has a slubby and delicate weave that beautifully emulates the appearance and handle of soft cotton, a palette of 15 decorative shades reference our Australasian flora and fauna to elegantly frame the view within any setting.
