RECYCLING
Sustainable future
UPcycling is an
important theme
for Junkers &
Mullers
Junkers & Mullers is using basic fabrics made of
recycled polyester, or more precisely recycled
PET bottles, in more and more articles in its
extensive in-house collection. In one square meter
of this UPcycling material there are about 3-4
recycled 1.5 liter PET bottles. On the one hand,
this helps to curb global plastic waste pollution.
And on top of that, recycling extends the utilization
cycle of the raw materials - a contribution to
reducing the ecological footprint.
Following a range of roller blind qualities, the
pleated range is now also being supplemented by
further UPcycling articles. "SONATA UPcycling" is
the name of the new semi-transparent plain fabric.
It is characterized by a pleasant textile feel. The
color palette includes elegant neutral tones in
cream white, silver gray or sand as well as powdery
fresh nuances in the lemon aqua range.
In addition, two new print designs are presented:
"LOVELY UPcycling" and "BOTANIC UPcycling".
With playful brush effects the one and with
delicate graphic lines the other, these floral designs
come in soft lightness. Both prints and the plain
fabric "SONATA UPcycling" are also available as
roller blind qualities.
In view of the growing awareness of a
worldwide climate change, the demand for
environmentally friendly, resource-saving products
will increase. Junkers & M llers is well prepared for
this with this wide range of UPcycling products.
The proportion of recycled material in the JM
UPcycling products has been certified by the
independent internationally active institute SCS
Global Services.
