Truly Green Batting

Earth-Friendly Batting made 100% from Recycled Plastic Bottles!

Dream Greenis a soft, cozy batting made 100% from recycled plastic bottles! Dream Green meets our highest standards of quality, function, and performance. Your needles will glide through this unique eco-friendly batting. Finished quilt may be machine-washed and dried with little to no shrinkage. Dream Green is wrinkle-resistant.

Each pound of Dream Green Batting keeps 10 plastic bottles out of our landfills. Plastic bottles are cut into chips, washed, melted and extruded into fine polyester fibers. These recycled fibers are indistinguishable from virgin polyester fibers yet are made without depleting our precious natural resources. To avoid additional processing we have kept the soft natural green bottle color but you can rest assured that Dream Green is colorfast and compatible to all your finest quilts and projects.

Dream Green has been carded, cross lapped and needle-punched for uniformity, strength, and resiliency. There is no scrim or resins yet you can stitch up to 12 apart! Utilizing eco-efficient recycling Quilters Dream has developed a wonderful quilt batting that truly accomplishes the meaning of green.

GREEN FACTS:Studies show that the energy saved by recycling a single plastic bottle as compared to producing a new one from scratch is enough to power a single 60-watt bulb for six hours. The amount of petroleum saved annually by using post-consumer bottles instead of virgin materials in the manufacturing process is enough to supply power to a city the size of Atlanta for an entire year! It is reported the process of recycling plastic bottles results in a 66% reduction of energy consumption, nearly 90% reduction of water usage and reduction of carbon dioxide by 2.5 times.
