Refelt

Refelt refers to a type of felt material that has undergone a process of re-treatment or re-working. Typically, felt is made from wool fibers that are matted and pressed together. Refelt can involve taking existing felt, often from post-consumer or post-industrial waste, and processing it to restore its properties or adapt it for new uses. This can include cleaning, shredding, and re-felting the fibers.

The goal of refelting is often to create a more sustainable product by reducing waste and the need for virgin materials. Refelted materials can be used in a variety of applications, including insulation, acoustic panels, automotive components, and craft supplies. The specific characteristics of refelt, such as its density, thickness, and fiber composition, will depend on the original felt source and the refelting process employed. This recycling and repurposing of felt contributes to a circular economy within the textile industry.
