Have you ever wondered why your pillow is made of plastic? While it may sound unusual, there’s a powerful reason behind it. In an era where plastic waste poses a significant challenge to our planet, using recycled plastic to create bedding products like pillows and duvets is an innovative way to reduce environmental impact. But how does it work, and what are the benefits? Let’s dive in to explore the surprising truth about your plastic pillow and how it’s paving the way for a greener future.

Why Plastic?

The DreamGreen range utilizes recycled plastic, preventing it from ending up in landfills or polluting our oceans. This approach reduces reliance on virgin petroleum-based materials typically used in bedding products. By transforming existing plastic waste, we can:
– Minimize waste in landfills and oceans.
– Lower greenhouse gas emissions during manufacturing.
Plastic waste is a global issue with devastating consequences for ecosystems and wildlife. Approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste end up in oceans annually, harming marine life and polluting the environment. By using recycled plastic, DreamGreen offers a practical, sustainable solution to this crisis.

The DreamGreen Difference

Our innovative process transforms recycled plastic into soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic microfibre—perfect for bedding products such as pillows and duvet inners. These products deliver the same comfort and durability as traditional materials while being eco-friendly and sustainable.

How Microfibre Is Made from Plastic Waste

The process of creating microfibre from recycled plastic is fascinating. Here’s how it works:

1. Collection and Sorting: High-quality plastic waste, such as bottles and packaging, is collected, sorted, cleaned, and processed to remove impurities.

2. Conversion to Flakes: The cleaned plastic is shredded into small flakes, which are easier to process into microfibre.

3. Spinning into Microfibre: The flakes are melted and spun into ultra-fine microfibres, thinner than a human hair.

4. Processing into Fill: The microfibres are carded and arranged to create the desired loft and texture for pillows and duvets.

5. Manufacturing Bedding Products: The DreamGreen microfibre fill is used to craft pillows, duvets, and other bedding items that combine luxury with sustainability.

A Win-Win for Consumers, the Planet – and You!

The DreamGreen range demonstrates how businesses can repurpose plastic waste to create high-quality, luxurious products while supporting environmental sustainability. By choosing DreamGreen bedding, you’re helping to:

• Reduce dependence on virgin materials.
• Lower greenhouse gas emissions.
• Address the global plastic waste crisis.

The added bonus? When you buy DreamGreen products for your property, we keep track of the number of bottles recycled through your purchases and you can download a Bottle Certificate to use in your ESG efforts and to promote to your guests.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference while enjoying products designed for comfort and longevity.
