Recycled PET Felt lighting is an innovative solution that utilizes felt made from recycled plastic bottles as the primary material for light fixtures. This material is not only eco-friendly but also possesses unique structural and acoustic properties. At Lumenear, we use this felt to design lightweight, durable luminaires that provide high-quality LED light while actively contributing to a cleaner planet by repurposing waste that would otherwise end up in oceans or landfills.
By repurposing post-consumer plastic waste, recycled PET Felt lighting reduces environmental impact without compromising on quality. Our production process in the Netherlands is designed to be as clean as the material itself. We focus on mechanical assembly techniques, which means our fixtures require no harmful adhesives or chemical glues. This ensures the material remains fully recyclable at the end of its life cycle, supporting a truly circular economy.
Beyond its sustainability, PET Felt is highly effective in improving room acoustics. Its dense yet porous structure is engineered to absorb sound waves, significantly reducing echo and reverberation. This makes recycled PET Felt lighting ideal for offices, restaurants, and public spaces where noise control is essential for comfort and productivity. By integrating acoustics into the lighting, you solve two interior challenges with a single, aesthetically pleasing element.
Recycled PET Felt lighting is versatile and fits seamlessly into various environments, from corporate workspaces to hospitality and residential interiors. Its lightweight and flexible properties allow for creative designs, from large suspended acoustic panels like the Float series to stylish pendant lights like the Twist or Blooom. Whether you are looking to dampen the noise in a busy canteen or provide focused task lighting in a meeting room, PET Felt fixtures provide the perfect functional fit.
Depending on the size of the fixture, dozens to hundreds of recycled bottles are transformed into the PET Felt used for a single lamp. This process directly helps in reducing global plastic pollution.
Yes, our PET Felt is non-toxic, skin-friendly, and fire-resistant. It does not off-gas harmful chemicals, making it a safe and healthy choice for offices, schools, and homes.
PET Felt is very easy to maintain. Regular dusting or a light vacuuming is usually enough. For deeper cleaning, the material is moisture-repellent and can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Not at all. PET Felt is a sturdy, high-density material that maintains its form and acoustic properties for many years, even in demanding public environments.
