Milan-based insulation manufacturer Thermore has launched its new fiber product called Ecodown Fibers Ocean, which it says is the first thermal insulation made from 100 percent ocean-bound raw materials (PET bottles). The new product is Ocean Cycle-certified and made at Thermore’s production site in Hong Kong.
Thermore’s commitment to clean oceans has been a priority for some time. For example, the use of microfibers has been banned from all Thermore products, as microfibers are known to pollute lakes and oceans and also contaminate the food we eat. Similarly, ocean-bound plastics also pose a major threat to our environment: They account for up to 80 percent of plastic pollution in our oceans.
Thermore is also increasing the amount of recycled fiber in its Thermore Classic collection to 75 percent.
