Non-woven
 Flax
Insulation
A natural
insulation material made from 100% flax fibres. Matted together into
a non-woven matting, which can then be laid down in lofts or inserted
into wall cavities. 
Coconut
Matting
Manufactured from recycled coconut fibres from the post industrial
waste stream. This textile currently provides a low impact and affordable
solution to the problems of soil erosion and land sliding on man-made
slopes such as motorway and railway embankments. However, with thought
it may be specified within other design contexts.
 Cotton
Made using 100% recycled cotton (mainly from old clothes) from the
post consumer waste stream. Available in a wide range of colour ways,
each of which having the characteristic speckling due to the lack
of discrimination during the recycling and sorting stages of production.
 Polyester
Geo-textile
Manufactured from 100% recycled P.E.T.
(mainly soda bottles) from the post consumer waste stream. This textile
provides a low impact and affordable solution to the problems of soil
erosion and land sliding on man-made slopes such as motorway and railway
embankments.
 Polyester
Fleece
Manufactured from 100% recycled P.E.T.
(Mainly soda bottles) from the post consumer waste stream. Available
in a wide range of colours and thicknesses, this is a durable and
highly effective insulating textile already utilised heavily by the
outdoor clothing industry.
Polypropylene
Geo-textile
Manufactured
from 100% recycled polypropylene from the post industrial waste stream.
This textile provides a low impact and affordable solution to the
problems of soil erosion and landsliding on man-made slopes such as
motorway and railway embankments. However, with thought it may be
specified within other design contexts.
 Straw
Geo-textile
Made
using a blend of straw and a loosely woven net of biodegradable string.
This textile provides a low impact and affordable solution to the
problems of soil erosion and land sliding on man-made slopes such
as motorway and railway embankments.
 Jute/Thermoset
Composite
Fine thermoset plastic fibres are mixed
with equally fine jute fibres to make a non-woven 'rug'. The rug is
then placed within a hot press which melts the plastic and jute together
creating a tough, lightweight shell. This material and process are
currently being used by the automotive industry to manufacture car
interiors. The presence of jute not only reduces the overall weight
of the material, but it also reduces the consumption of non-renewable
resources such as oil (plastic).
 Kenaf/Thermoset
Composite
Fine thermoset plastic fibres are mixed
with equally fine kenaf fibres to make a non-woven 'rug'. The rug
is then placed within a hot press which melts the plastic and kenaf
together creating a tough, lightweight shell. This material and process
are currently being used by the automotive industry to manufacture
car interiors. The presence of kenaf not only reduces the overall
weight of the material, but it also reduces the consumption of non-renewable
resources such as oil (plastic).
 Non-Woven
Copper Textiles
An ultra thin non-woven textile made purely from copper. The material
is spun into micro-hairs before being pressed into sheet form. Both
light and air pass easily through it which creates a sensation of
lightness around the material. However, it is also quite tough despite
the delicate aesthetic rendering it durable.
