About:
Making textiles from synthetics isn’t a new concept, but it’s estimated that making soft open yarn like Weaver Green’s from recycled plastic bottles uses as much as 70% less energy and almost 90% less water than creating them from scratch. It also makes much more valuable use of the precious resources that go into making the plastic bottles in the first place, like oil and water.
Because the hard work of making the plastic is done already, the production processes can be fine-tuned to limit emissions and use as few resources as possible. For example, the yarn is produced using a closed water system that constantly recycles, purifies and reuses the same water. The dying vats are heated by burning discarded rice and wheat husks, a by-product of local cereal
farmers, in factories with low emission chimneys. All of this helps minimise the pollution from the production and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
Weaver Green is also very concerned about the environmental impact of it's products. That’s why they use long strand yarn to improve tensile strength and reduce the risk of microfibre shedding. Although their textiles are machine washable, realistically they should only need that kind of deep clean on rare occasions. It's their goal to minimise waste plastic in packaging, opting whenever possible to use sustainable, recycled and recyclable paper and card alternatives.
