ReFelt brings new life to plastic bottles. Made from recycled PET Felt, their acoustic solutions are pleasing to the eyes, ears and environment. PET Felt is a soft and durable material with endless design possibilities. Thanks to its open-cellular structure, PET Felt demonstrates great acoustic properties, as well as all the properties of plastics.
In 2015, 381 million tonnes of plastic was produced globally. 79% of plastic waste is sent to landfills or the ocean, while only 9% is recycled, and 12% gets incinerated. 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into the ocean daily.
PET Felt is made of recycled plastic, mostly plastic bottles. The collected plastic is first cleaned, then finely ground and processed into a fibre. From these fibres are made mats, which are then felted. That felt is heated and pressed into a panel. From these panels, you can make any type of product.
Since PET Felt is made of plastic bottles, it has the following properties:
-UV-resistant
-Easy to process
-Impact-resistant
-Easily recyclable after being used
PET Felt is incredibly versatile, flexible, and safe. It’s lightweight and easy to process. There are no dangerous emissions coming out of the material. PET Felt also has a B1 Fire rating, meaning that it is difficult to be set on fire.
