Calendering waste from the chips packaging industry — the same plastic that ends up in landfills — is collected, sorted and hand-spun into yarn in Bagru. That yarn is then woven by hand across a powder-coated wrought iron cross-base frame into a clean geometric pattern. It arrives flat-packed and assembles in minutes.

The Re-thread story +
The chips packaging industry produces vast quantities of calendering waste — thin plastic film offcuts that have no use in manufacturing and are destined for landfill. In Bagru, this waste is collected, sorted by colour, and hand-spun into a strong, resilient yarn. Artisans then weave that yarn by hand across a powder-coated cross-base iron frame, producing the clean geometric pattern that defines the chair. The Re-thread is not just a recycled product — it is the result of an entire supply chain built around material that industry discards.

Why Re-thread

Plastic the industry discards.
We spin it into a chair.

Calendering waste — the plastic film offcuts from chips packaging production — has no commercial value and no recycling stream. It goes to landfill. We collect it, sort it by colour, and hand-spin it into a durable, UV-stable yarn at our facility in Bagru.

That yarn is woven by hand across a powder-coated cross-base iron frame into a clean geometric pattern. The same fibre that would have taken centuries to break down now holds its shape for years outdoors — and arrives flat-packed, ready to assemble in minutes.
