Special: Wool felt is a very special kind of fabric; it always feels nice and warm. It can be used by people to create dozens of different pieces from snuggly hats to sleek scarves and practical bags. But what you probably don’t know is, some of that wool felt is actually made from recycled material! This is very cool, and where a company called Bornature comes into play!
Gorgeous reasons to love recycled wool. To begin with, it's made using natural, Earth-friendly materials. Instead of using new, resource-intensive-to-produce wool, Bornature uses old wool extracted from secondhand garments and goods that are no longer needed. In doing so, they can turn things that would get thrown in the trash into something new, useful, and beautiful.
Another lovely feature of recycled wool felt is that it is available in a variety of colors and textures. Bornature has a broad range of hues, from neutral greys and browns to vivid pinks and blues. Isn’t it astonishing how much diversity occurs from recycled materials? It allows individuals to be able to find a color that matches their lifestyle and personality!
There is more than meets the eye to recycled wool felt, as it is not only elegant, but has the power to revolutionise the fashion world for the better. People used to consider fashion a high-waste, high-pollution industry. In the past, clothing companies produced new clothes every season, leading to fabric dead stock that would otherwise end up in land fills presenting a huge problem for the planet!
Bornature is challenging this traditional mindset by making their products with recycled materials. They can show us that what we wear can be sustainable, which means it is good for the planet, while also being fun and on point. And they contribute to helping reduce waste by using recycled materials. This is a significant step in ensuring that our planet remains habitable for generations to come.
Wool fibers are pressed together, and as they stick, they make felt. The process makes a strong and durable fabric that can be used for uses. Once the felt is made, Bornature can start to manufacture a wide variety of products, from warm hats and gloves to fun phone covers and colourful key chains that people love.
There are so many, recycled wool felt is way better than the synthetic fibers. For starters, it’s a natural material that’s biodegradable in the environment, so it’s easy on our planet. On the other hand, synthetic fibers are commonly derived from non-renewable resources. This means they are made from nonrenewable materials that take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills, creating damage to our planet.
