As part of the company's strategy of replacing its conventional textile products for the hospitality industry with more sustainable ones, without losing quality, the company has started to manufacture its Sumum pillow with RePET polyester fiber filling, i.e. polyester fiber that comes from recycled plastic bottles.
Vayoil Textil has presented its converted Sumum pillow. It is a pillow whose filling is made of Repet polyester fiber from recycled plastic bottles. The new product has the same quality and characteristics as the conventional pillow but its carbon footprint is much lower.
The Sumum pillow has an outer part made of 100% cotton fabric and its filling is made of siliconized hollow fiber (RePet), which gives it a feel very similar to that of feather fillings. This makes this pillow, compared to others with synthetic filling, more comfortable, with greater adaptability and a great recovery of the shape after being pressed. This same RePet fiber allows air to circulate inside and this makes it very breathable.
In this way, the company continues its strategy of creating more sustainable articles with the same standards as the conventional one. A job that requires a lot of investment and work given the use and washing conditions to which the hotel textile product is subjected. To this end, Vayoil Textil ensures that the recycled material will be of the same quality as the material with which it was manufactured until now, and incorporates a production process controlled down to the last detail.
In the words of Arturo Hernandez, the company's Chief Executive Officer; "By protecting consumer confidence in choosing products made from recycled materials, the company hopes to contribute to the increased use of recycled materials by consumers and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills or incineration. We are concerned about our planet today and, above all, its future, which is why the company is committed to bringing products with this philosophy (reduce, reuse, recycle, redesign, recover and replace) to the hospitality market.
