Recycled-plastic soft furnishings
FROM £15, WEAVER GREEN
In the face of mounting piles of plastic, a variety of companies are finding clever ways to turn this abundance of refuse into desirable wares. Weaver Green produces everything from tote bags and cushions to rugs and blankets, all from recycled plastic bottles – between 150 and 3,000 go into a single product (not that you’d know from the feel of the finished items). Measures have even been taken to reduce the amount of microplastics likely to be shed during washing – but then these textiles are unlikely to be washed as often as clothes, say, anyway. Available in a range of colours and patterns, plastic bottles have never looked so stylish.
