Polyester fibre gets a new life as felt

High-Quality Needle Polyester Felt Made from Recycled PET Fibers

In Finland, we are the sole champion of needling polyester felt from recycled PET-fibres.

The world’s oceans are drowning in plastics, but we are doing our part to prevent that from happening. We produce polyester felt used as raw material both for classic products and new innovations. The fibres we use in our process derive from various recycled polyester objects. We are creating new sparks that will give new growth opportunities for industry.

A big part of our materials come from plastic bottles . We have given a new life to around 35 million PET bottles so far. Our polyester felt is made from recycled polyester objects, including plastic bottles, which are transformed into innovative products with a wide variety of applications.

To date, we have recycled around 35 million PET bottles, giving them new life in products like:

  • Designer furniture
  • Decorative panels
  • Raw material of shoe industry
  • Acoustically insulated workspaces
  • Automotive components

Our polyester felt is applied to a multitude of applications

Polyester felt has numerous good properties, such as excellent thermoformability. The fibre’s Ökö-Tex 100 certificate is a guarantee that the felt contains no harmful substances, heavy metals or formaldehyde residues.

Using existing plastic is a sustainable way to create new innovations. This is how we and our customers reduce the amount of plastic among waste and, consequently, in the oceans.

Our thermoformable PES- felts have been granted emission class M1 for building materials by the Finnish Building Information Foundation RTS. More information about M1 -classification upon request:  sales@intermedius.fi

Examples of where polyester felt is used:

Work safety footwear that meet ESD requirements (DIN EN ISO20345, 20346, 20347)
Thermoformed headliners and door panels for the automotive industry
Liquid and air filtration for the steel and metal industries
Applications requiring protection treatment
Thermal and acoustic insulation, e.g. in interior design products
