A look into closed-loop textiles..

The impact of producing textiles are very high these days, from upholstery to drapes, textiles are everywhere in interiors, so it is very much an interior concern as well.

Over the years designers are finding some sustainable textile innovations

From old to new Reblend the textiles and give it a new life. The making process saves a considerable amount of water, energy and pollution plus of course rescuing textiles from landfills. This resulting fabric takes their colour mainly from the existing yarn, with little - to - no extra dying. After this the fabrics are taken back after use to reuse them again and again.

Remeant is making use of non - recyclable packaging material like bubble wrap and aluminum foil. Turning this waste into fabrics takes advantage of the durability of the raw materials, creating something that's meant to last a lot longer than single use packaging.

The most interesting of all is when stone meets fabric, some companies incorporate waste marble powder into an innovative and circular fabric coating that makes the end product more resistant and shiny.

Cellulose is another material that can be turned into fabrics which is coming straight from the forest. This zero-waste process requires very little water and doesn't employ harmful chemicals.

Not all leathers are created equal and not all of them are equally sustainable. Mycelium grows on sawdust and organic matter in a vertical farming facility that replicates natural conditions, then it is processed and dyed. The resulting fabric is incredibly similar to leather and very promising.
