There is often a lack of understanding about the potential of paper products, leading to the mistaken belief that they are fragile and susceptible to moisture. However, MIMCORD’s paper yarns challenge these assumptions, and the answer is yes, rugs can be made from them! In the photograph accompanying this communication, we can see the weaving process of a NATURTEX rug made with MIMCORD paper yarns.
These paper yarns are not only the foundation for creating rugs but also for other products like decorative items, meshes, and tatamis, thanks to their innovative features:
- Natural and Sustainable Origin: MIMCORD’s paper yarns come from sustainably managed and certified forest plantations, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
- Vibrant and Safe Colors: Available in a wide range of water-based, non-toxic dyes, making them safe for any use, including interior spaces.
- Isothermal and Antistatic Properties: Rugs made from these yarns are cool in summer and warm in winter, providing unparalleled comfort in any season.
- Health and Wellness: With a slightly alkaline and anti-static nature, these yarns do not attract dust mites, making them ideal for any environment, especially those that require a healthier space.
- High Moisture Resistance: Contrary to what one might expect from a paper product, these yarns are highly resistant to moisture and can be easily cleaned with water and mild soaps.
- Flame Retardant and Suitable for Public Spaces: These paper yarns are also flame retardant, making them an ideal choice for public spaces where safety regulations are essential.
- Circular Economy: MIMCORD paper yarns are recyclable, and the cellulose fibers they are made from can be recovered, contributing significantly to the circular economy.
Thanks to MIMCORD’s combination of innovation and expertise, it is possible to manufacture unique products like rugs with materials that break the traditional expectations of paper-based products.
