To realise the project Sainsbury’s Home uses REKOOP© recycled polyester fibres, which come from recycled plastic bottles. This new initiative saves plastic from landfill, giving items a new lease of life. The DNA tagged recycled polyester fibres ensures full traceability from the start to the finished product.
With a total of approximately 48 recycled plastic bottles going into a double plain duvet set, this new bedding is set to do wonders for reducing plastic waste.
The bed linen is presented in a fabric bag, made from the same material. In a bid to eradicate single use plastic packaging. Fastened with a coconut husk button and jute string, it makes for an ideal storage bag.
'The Sleep More Sustainably bedding represents an important step in making use of post-consumer products,' says Rona Olds, Head of Buying Homewares at Sainsbury’s Home. 'For homeware that is stylish and more sustainable,'
'It's incredible that 58 plastic bottles go into a king size plain duvet,' she exclaims.

Rona goes on to say, 'Within our homeware product overall, we have committed to using sustainably sourced timber as well as cotton across 100 per cent of our own brand products by 2020.'
