Did you know that with 35 recycled bottles Vayoil Textil is capable of developing a pillow and with 55 a polar blanket? According to the study conducted by the Ellen Macarthur Foundation Macarthur Foundation, a British organization that works to help the environment through a Circular the environment through a Circular Economy model, estimates that by 2050 there will be more plastics than fish in the seas and oceans. in the seas and oceans; a fact that invites reflection.
Most of the garbage that ends up on the seabed comes from single-use plastics (49%), plastic the seabed comes from single-use plastics (49%), plastic waste from fishing equipment (27%), non-plastic waste (18%) and other plastics (18%). from fishing equipment (27%), non-plastic waste (18%) and other plastics (6%). (6%). Among the majority of the single-use plastics that pollute the seas and oceans, the most common are the most common are bottles, lids, cigarette butts, cotton buds, plastic bags and other plastics, cotton buds, plastic bags... Many of these will be banned by 2020 by the European Commission by 2020 by the European Commission.

These intoxicated fish with waste we fish them and finally complete a food chain that puts human health at risk.
70% of the earth's surface is water. water. It is home to thousands of species of flora and fauna, but it is also a place where we find food that allows us to food that allows us to have a rich and balanced diet. Why are we destroying such an important space for everyone? How can we put a stop to this biological destruction? Let's look at some measures that different textile companies are employing in terms of sustainability:

All the textiles of the "sustainable bed are made from organic cotton, a raw material that is grown using a low-impact production method. grown according to a production method that has a low impact on the environment. In addition, these cotton crops are not treated with pesticides or other toxins that could harm the fauna and/or flora toxic substances that could harm the surrounding fauna and/or flora.
In addition to this material, the "sustainable bed" is also is also made of linen, one of the oldest natural fibers used by man and one of the most sustainable. one of the oldest natural fibers used by man and one of the most sustainable. The impact of flax The impact of flax on the environment is minimal since its decomposition time once its useful life is is very low compared to other fibers, and the smoke it gives off when burned is not smoke it gives off when burned is not polluting.
Opting for products from Vayoil's Ocean Vayoil's Ocean line, the textile collection developed from recycled plastic fibers, is to start being conscious of our impact on the environment. is to start to be aware of our impact on the environment and to start to and start to find solutions to these problems.

Since 2015 they fully immersed themselves in the project Upcycling the Oceans project, which aims to to recover all the waste that damages marine ecosystems and give it a second life by transforming it into a second life by transforming them into high quality yarns. A method that promotes the circular economy and is probably the future of fashion.
Luken, eco decoration of the future.
Another example: Mexican architecture firm Paola Calzada Arquitectos has launched a line of furniture and textiles made from recycled plastic bottles called Luken. This furniture aims to provide a solution to the problem of plastics in seas and oceans by using approximately 600 plastic bottles to make each piece of furniture.
In addition to the corners of the hotels a dose of style and sophistication with these furniture furniture designed by the architect, we collaborate with the manufacture of 100% ecological furniture. 100% ecological furniture.
