WHAT ARE “RECYCLED FLEECE SCRAPS?”

From 2002 to mid-2007 we filled our beds with recycled fleece scraps. These polyester fleece scraps were recycled from North American clothing manufacturers. They were the remnant fabric pieces left over when clothing manufacturers cut patterns from rolls of fleece. Because the scraps are from clothing material, they are machine washable, just like your fleece jacket. In 2007, due to the growing demand for our environmentally friendly pet beds, we searched for a new recyclable clean waste product that we could use as filling in our beds. Our new recycled fiber filling is called SmartFill™.
