RieNu by Riegel Table Linens Made from Recycled Plastic Water Bottles Riegel has been providing Worry-Free Textiles since 1838.

The process includes collecting bottles to sanitizing to chipping to melting to extruding fiber then weaving and dyeing the final product—RieNu by Riegel. Call (800) 845-2232.
