Dezeen Showroom: textile manufacturer Ultrafabrics has designed Volar Bio, a high-performance and durable material partially made of recycled plastic bottles.

The textile includes Repreve polyester, Ecovero viscose and Susterra propanediol biobased resin – a petroleum-free ingredient derived from regeneratively farmed US dent corn, used to create leather alternatives.

Each linear yard of Volar Bio contains 8.3 recycled plastic bottles or 9 bottles per metre.

"Volar Bio was the first Ultrafabrics collection to focus on responsible innovation and the use of more sustainable ingredients," said Ultrafabrics.

"One of the first high-performance biobased fabrics on the market, it is also one of the few that can be used for upholstery as it can be cleaned or disinfected, and most importantly maintains Ultrafabrics' durability standards," the brand added.
