Recycled felt
The industry makes cleaning rags, insulating material for the car industry and moving blankets from depreciated textile. But we thought this could be done differently and developed our design felt in 2014. Everyone in the chain thought we were crazy. How can you create a valuable design product from discarded clothing?
Features at a glance
Thickness
The thickness of our felt is about 2.5 mm. However, because it is recycled material, it cannot be completely uniform; deviations in certain places are possible within a margin of a maximum of 20%.
​
Fire resistant
We can impregnate our felt for fire resistance. After treatment it is possible to receive a certificate of treatment. The impregnated material can be classified as flame retardant in the sense of the Dutch standard NEN EN ISO 6941 (Tnaflame < 15 s, Tafterglow < 60 s). This means that it can be used anywhere without any problems according to the Building Decree.
​
Operations
We can also do all kinds of processing in our workshops, such as lasering, punching and printing.
Maintenance
Our felt can be easily cleaned by vacuuming. Do not use water and do not rub. If water has gotten on the felt, wait for it to dry completely before vacuuming.

Our recycled felt is made from consumer clothing or corporate clothing from organisations. This ensures a continuity in the different types of felt. Here you can see which felt is currently in stock. Do you already see a species that you want to get started with? We are very curious!

Our felt colors
All our felt colors are made from recycled textiles. For example, we save water and CO2 by recycling textiles into beautiful felt. The colors and products may differ slightly from the picture, because they are sorted textiles.

Recycled felt from your company clothing?
​
In our i-did Factory we can recycle your old company clothing into felt in which the origin of the clothing can be seen. Whether these are small or very large quantities. To turn that felt into beautiful, new products for your company!
​
For example, we can produce acoustic wall panels or other interior products. It is also possible to make laptop covers, bags and (home) accessories from the felt. So you can even have business or employee gifts made from your own company clothing. Then the circle is round, isn't it?
