Recycled Fabrics
Curtain Studio are pleased to have a range of fabrics within our Bespoke custom range that is made incorporating recycled plastic bottles or recycled polyester industrial yarn (PI). Our supplier has worked with leading yarn suppliers who have accredited supply sources. In each case the recycling of solid polyester waste products prevents their disposal to land fill and offers considerable energy saving benefits.
Woven from Recycled Polyester*
The minimum requirement for the fabric within our range has no less than 40% of recycled polyester that has been incorporated in the fabric weight per lineal metre.
*Fabrics will vary in weight per lineal metre, depending on each design, but are guaranteed that each metre of fabric will use the equivalent of no less than four 750ml plastic bottles each weighing 30gms.
Recycling saves energy
Recycling offers significant energy savings over manufacturing with virgin materials. 1kg of recycled yarn used in our recycled fabrics conserves approx 100,000 BTU’s* of energy, equivalent to 2 litres of fuel. (1)
Producing new plastic from recycled material uses only two-thirds of the energy required to manufacture plastic from virgin materials. (2)
The energy saved by recycling one plastic drink bottle could power a computer for 25 minutes. (3)
Reduces waste
The average consumer discards 3 kgs of house-hold waste each day. A high proportion of this waste goes into landfills or oceans.
The average plastic bottle takes approximately 450 – 1000 years to fully biodegrade. Recycling requires far less energy, uses fewer natural resources, and reduces the quantity of waste disposal in landfills and oceans.
