JOHNSTON, S.C.—Riegel div. Mount Vernon Mills, Inc. is turning plastic bottles into durable table linen. RieNu by Riegel is a 100 percent recycled polyester linen produced from Eco-Sure, a 100 percent post-consumer recycled PET as confirmed by Scientific Certification Systems. One 20×20 napkin made from RieNu recycled polyester fabric eliminates three 16 ounce plastic bottles from landfills.

RieNu by Riegel promises to feel like Premier, a 100 percent spun polyester product. Quality tested and proven to perform equally as well, RieNu by Riegel is proven to maintain Premier’s high quality standards that are expected in the marketplace today. Each product made of RieNu 100 percent recycled polyester showcases the unique qualities inherent to the recycling process.  

The process is simple. Bales of plastic bottles are collected, sorted, and inspected to eliminate foreign materials. These PET bottles are sterilized, dried, and crushed into small chips, melted down, and extruded into a new fiber. The finished fiber is then dyed and woven before being sewn into napkins and tablecloths in a variety of earth-tone and spa-inspired colors. A natural and slight variance in the fabric gives RieNu recycled polyester table linen a hint of rare exclusivity.
