First and foremost, it is recycled and recyclable again! Polyester can be recycled numerous times without losing quality and can be turned into a material that is still comparable to virgin polyester every time. With plenty of polyesters already out there to be recycled, this will lower the demand for virgin polyester.
Unlike virgin polyester, recycled polyester uses PET as the raw material. This is the same material that is used in clear plastic water bottles. Recycling it and creating fabric prevents it from ending up in landfills and oceans.
Using recycled polyester will help reduce the dependence on petroleum as the raw material for fabric production. Using PET bottles for this process instead will drastically reduce landfills and will, in turn, reduce soil contamination, as well as air and water pollution. It also requires less energy than needed to produce virgin polyester.
This is the technology of transforming plastic into a high-performance polyester fiber. The process begins by collecting plastic bottles from landfills, washing and sterilizing them, sorting them, then separating and compressing them into bailes. These bailes are then chopped into small flakes, heated, extruded, cooled, and chopped up into tiny pellets. These pellets are then heated and spun to create very fine fibers that resemble soft threads.
This eco-friendly mattress pad is made in China, and the material is something you can genuinely feel good about using. It is a great solution to help tackle the waste that is piling up on the planet. Why not recycle and use plastic thrown away to repurpose it into something useful, like your bedding?
The most convenient thing about this mattress pad is that it is machine washable and dryer friendly. To wash it, use cold water only and choose the ‘gentle’ cycle. Use a mild detergent, and DO NOT use bleach. For drying, tumble dry on ‘low heat.’ Do not iron the mattress pad.
