Every year millions of plastic bottles end up in landfill or our oceans. Even when we place them in the recycling bin, we often don’t really know where that plastic ends up or how it’s reused.

Here in NSW, many recycled plastic bottles are transformed into new products such as car parts, clothing, shoes, pens and more. Some are even recycled and turned back into plastic bottles again.

When plastic bottles are recycled into fabric, they are first transformed into a material called Repreve®. This innovative fibre is then used by leading brands around the world to create clothing and other textile products.

Now it can also find a place in your craft room!

This soft recycled fibre is wonderful for adding texture and dimension to creative projects. Try using it in junk journals, scrapbooking layouts, mini albums, mixed media pieces, sewing projects, slow stitching, textile art, and more. It can be tucked into layers, stitched onto pages, used as a light filler, or added to clusters and embellishments for a beautiful tactile element.

A fun and creative way to give recycled materials a second life in your handmade projects.
