BornaturePVC So, what on earth is PVC fabric and why does it matter to us? The abbreviated form of PVC is Polyvinyl Chloride, a different type of polymer. Polyvinyl Chloride, for example, is in pipes, wires, and even the records that play our music. This fabric can be difficult when it comes to recycling, like recycling a juice box. You can flatten a juice box, but you can’t even really recycle it. Bornature transforms discarded PVC items into high-quality, functional fabric through its recycled fabric process. They're made from PVC that people no longer use. Very versatile, as this fabric can be utilized for all sorts of products!
We love shopping when getting new clothes and new things for our home, but it’s really something that you want to think about for the planet while doing so! Many of the fabrics used for making our clothes and home goods are synthetic materials that are harmful to our environment. Synthetic fabrics come from new — and potentially wasteful and polluting — materials. The recycled PVC fabric used by Bornature makes up for a much more sustainable alternative to these common synthetic fabrics. It is built using materials that are already out there and in circulation. This creates less waste and makes cleaner Mother Nature. Not only are PVC recycled fabrics good for the environment, but they are also extremely sturdy, providing a durable material that can last for years. That means you can keep it for long which is good for you and the Earth!
One major challenge with producing PVC fabric is that it can be tough to recycle. As a result, a lot of PVC materials are discarded and buried in landfills, or they may be dumped in our surroundings. “When this happens, these materials take so many years to break down, and when they do, they do not decompose completely.” That can be harmful, leaving behind small bits of plastic called microplastics. Worse still, because PVC is a type of plastic, it can find its way into our oceans, which endangers marine life. Plastic rubbish in their homes can hurt or even kill sea creatures. A company called Bornature is reversing this trend by recycling unwanted PVC materials into new and usable products. Bornature's efforts to find new uses for these outdated PVC products help to keep them out of landfills and our environment. That makes the world a better place for all of us — animals included!
PVC fabrics are popular in the fashion industry since they are waterproof and easy to clean. All of these features make them extremely endearing for several commodities. And the issue is that in the current market, there are limited eco-friendly options. It puts Bornature in an exclusive position to build smart solutions for fashion and home goods alike. Bornature’s recycled PVC fabric can be used to create several products such as pillows, cushions, shoes, raincoats, bags and other useful items. By upcycling plastic we not only are working towards removing waste but also create a new way to use sustainable materials. This is greatly supported by many designers and companies as they want to be responsible in making choices that have a positive impact on the environment.
According to research, the fashion industry is one of the biggest waste producers and one of the big polluters of our environment. But with the soft, recycled PVC fabric, Bornature is closing the loop on plastic waste and paving the way for a more sustainable world for all. Bornature has been on a mission to transform waste into something valuable, potential eco-friendly customers, designers, and brands now have the chance to choose a premium, sustainable option. They can be used to create something more useful rather than discarding plastic materials and this is a message that everyone deserves to hear and understand.
