Recycling Plastic Bottles: Why is it important for Design?

We focus on creating products that are built to last, prioritising first-class construction, timeless aesthetic and neutral color combinations.  The combination of durability and timeless design ensures our products have a longer lifespan, contributing to sustainability.

As business we move to more responsible actions and using fabrics made of 100% recycling plastic bottles was a key player for us.

• Our designs blends luxury craftsmanship with sustainability using 100% recycled plastic bottles fabric
• Recycled plastic reduces landfill, lowers carbon emissions, and supports a circular economy
• The fabric is durable, water-resistant, soft to the touch, and eco-friendly
• Products are handcrafted in small batches with timeless aesthetics and premium materials
• Sustainability is integral to our design, combining full-grain leather with responsible fabrics

Plastic bottles are everywhere—handy but problematic. Over one million plastic bottles are sold globally every minute, with less than 10% being properly recycled. The rest go to landfills or pollute the oceans, taking many years to decompose.

Recycling Plastic Bottles goes beyond just cutting waste; it gives them a new purpose. By turning old plastic into useful materials, we are changing a problem into a chance for new ideas.

Our commitment to creating high-quality, long-lasting products that minimize waste and promote responsible consumption has more sense with the use of 100% Recycled Plastic Bottles Fabric, a durable, Water-Resistant and hard-wearing material that is perfect for outdoors, soft to the touch, and kind to the environment.

Using recycled plastic has benefits beyond just cutting down waste. Here’s why it’s significant:

   •    Reducing Landfill and Pollution: Recycling decreases the need for new materials, lowering the demand for limited resources and pollution from plastic breakdown.

   •    Lowering Carbon Emissions: Creating recycled plastic uses up to 79% less energy compared to new plastic, helping to cut greenhouse gases.

   •    Supporting a Circular Economy: Recycling materials repeatedly promotes a system that reduces waste and saves resources.
