Vescom Launches Upholstery Made From 100% Recycled Plastic Waste

Vescom launches upholstery made from 100% recycled plastic waste. As part of its dedication to researching new alternatives and exploring future materials with an eye to sustainability, Vescom has gone back to the root of upholstery fabrics: the yarn itself.

Working with a new type of yarn made entirely from recycled PET bottles from local sources, Vescom has designed, developed and produced four cost-effective eco-friendly upholstery fabrics. These fabrics boast a soft touch that meets the highest performance specifications for the contract market.

Four Structures One Family

Each of the fabrics are designed to work in unison. The four structures that make up Vescom’s yarn-dyed recycled upholstery family include – Wilson, a basic weave; Avon, a melange; Norfolk, a grid; and Harding. Each one subsequently honours fundamental weaving techniques. The non-directionality of some structures makes them incredibly easy to combine with one another. These are also ideal to integrate into interiors.

A match-and-play palette

Like the structures themselves, the 59 fabric colours – from subtle neutrals to bold brights – across Wilson, Avon, Norfolk and Harding can be playfully mixed and matched in interiors and on furniture. The possibilities are endless.

Strong performance guaranteed

Extremely durable and with a long life cycle, the products pass all European flame retardancy tests. Quality is thus embedded into the yarn itself rather than applied as a finish, guaranteeing it remains permanently contained within the fabric. The fabrics are also certified STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®. Furthermore, this ensures they have absolutely no adverse impact on human health.
