What’s nice is that polyester can be recycled over and over, without changing or losing its great qualities. We are accelerating this movement for polyester in our range and aim to replace all virgin polyester in our textile products with recycled. Make friends with other parents-to-be and new parents in your local area for support and friendship by seeing what NCT activities are happening nearby. Polyester is a durable, wrinkle-resistant and easy-care material that is ideal for many home furnishing products like rugs, pillows, quilts and cushions. With some exceptions, the challenge is not the conversion of polyester into recycled itself, but to make it available to everyone by keeping it affordable.

Cot bumpers are not considered safe because of the risk of accidents once your baby can roll and move in their cot. We create our articles with NCT antenatal teachers, postnatal leaders and breastfeeding counsellors, as well as academics and representatives from relevant organisations and charities. These volumes make us a leader in converting to recycled polyester and we hope that our decisions can inspire and motivate whole industries to change.

In 2020, we achieved the milestone of replacing 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products and will accelerate the transformation towards the aim of only using recycled polyester throughout the product range where polyester is used. Recycled polyester is just as good as virgin polyester in terms of looks, quality and function, and produces about 50% less in CO2 emissions.Or use a mattress protector so that if (well, when…) your baby dribbles or their nappy leaks, the mattress won’t get wet (Which, 2021b; Lullaby Trust, no date). Originally, all polyester was made from oil-based raw materials which are not renewable but we are switching to only using recycled polyester. Tests have also found that mattresses can lose their firmness after a few years and may not be suitable for a newborn (Which, 2021b). According to The Lullaby Trust, Around 6 in 10 of sudden infant deaths could be avoided if no baby was exposed to smoke during pregnancy or around the home.

When we make products from recycled polyester, we give a second life to material that is not biodegradable and reduce the amount that may otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean.
