Did you know for every EcoPillow we make, we stop 0.3 pounds of textile waste from getting into the environment
At @ecodesigns, we are upcycling textile offcuts to produce eco-pillows that are cheap, environmentally friendly and very comfortable.
@Ecodesigns ecopillows measure 35cmX35cm and 40cmX20cm and weigh 0.5 pounds and 0.6 pounds respectively. For every pillow we make, we stop 0.3 – 0.4 pounds of textile waste from getting into the environment.
For every 3 pillows we make that contain 1 pound of textile waste, we save approximately 3 – 4 pounds of greenhouse gases that accelerate climate change.
This year, @ecodesigns strives to produce at least 30 pillows per month that contain 10 pounds of textile waste. This will greatly reduce the amount of textile waste that is getting into the environment as well as saving about 30 – 40 pounds of greenhouse gases from getting into the environment.
