At Bemz, we’re intentional about extending the life of furniture to reduce waste. We believe that knowing what your furniture covers are made from really matters, as does the afterlife of the fabric. That’s why we created the Bemz Recyclability Score: a simple, transparent guide to help you understand the environmental impact of each fabric and make more conscious choices.
Each fabric is rated from 1 to 5, based on how they’re made and how recyclable they are at the end of their life. You’ll find the score listed under ‘Fabric Information’ on each product page.
· 5/5 Circular: Made from recycled or renewable materials and fully recyclable or biodegradable after use.
· 4/5 Recycled: Contains at least 70% recycled content that can be fully recyclable after use.
· 3/5 Recyclable: Made from raw materials that can be recycled after use, instead of becoming waste.
· 2/5 Renewable: Made from renewable sources like wood and responsibly produced with minimal environmental impact, and can also be recycled at the end of life.
· 1/5 Not recyclable: Made from fibres that cannot currently be recycled.
