Polyester and recycled polyester r-PET

Traditional polyester is a synthetic fibre (PES) made from oil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Polyester is added to textiles because it is strong, wrinkle-resistant, soft, flexible and water-repellent. It is also highly resistant to abrasion.

In the Luhta Home products, we aim to use recycled polyester (r-PET), the majority of which is used for the wadding of pillows and bedspreads, as well as material for rugs and baskets. r-PET is usually made from recycled plastic bottles and the material is 100% recycled. If necessary, products made of r-PET can be combined with cotton to give the products a pleasant feel. For r-PET products (e.g. baskets, rugs and tablemats), vacuuming is often enough, if necessary, stains can be wiped with a damp cloth or sponge.
