All about the texture, ARENITE is a super-soft chenille woven from recycled cotton from the fashion industry and recycled PET polyester made from waste plastic bottles. This semi-plain has a multi-coloured, twisted, recycled cotton yarn, adding depth and detail reflective of an Arenite rock formation. ARENITE is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, meaning the fabric is free of harmful chemicals.
The cotton used in ARENITE is recycled from fashion which prevents cotton from going to landfill, reduces demand for new cotton production and therefore reduces water consumption and carbon emissions. Recycling from fashion encourages circularity and prevents materials from going to waste.
PET recycled polyester yarns are made from waste plastic bottles. These are first cleaned and made into flakes which are blended, melted and turned into chips. The chips are then melted again, extruded and made into a fibre which is then spun into a yarn, and finally dyed and woven into fabric.
