With BENU OSCAR, Christian Fischbacher succeeds in uniting sustainability with the most exacting aesthetic demands. Manufac- tured from recycled materials, the fabrics in the BENU RECYCLED collection are an expression of the innovative thinking that plays a key role in the overall process of developing collections at Christian Fischbacher: BENU OSCAR is a fabric derived from post-consumer recycled PET bottles. Discarded bottles are collected, ground up and melted down before being spun into polyester monofilament yarns. If we compare recycled to non-recycled polyester, we find that using re-cycled polyester saves 9/10 of the energy and 2/3 of the water required in production The fabric is flame-retardant due to the additive that becomes an integral part of the cloth. The recycling process does not lead to any loss of quality or durability.
