Ever wondered what's actually in your sheets?
The way bedding is made matters more than most people realise. Traditional textile manufacturing often involves harsh chemicals, toxic dyes, and processes that leave residues in the fabric you sleep on every night.
Closed-loop production is different. It's a cleaner, safer approach that results in fabric that's gentler on your skin, free from chemical residues, and built to last.
What Is Closed-Loop Production?
Closed-loop production is a manufacturing system designed to minimise waste and keep resources in circulation. Unlike traditional methods where chemicals and water are used once and discharged, closed-loop systems recycle and reuse almost everything.
At Mynt Lab, our production process recycles 99% of the water and solvents used during fabric manufacturing. This means:
- No toxic discharge into waterways
- No harsh chemical residues left in your fabric
- Cleaner, purer fibres that are safer for sensitive skin
Why This Matters for Your Sleep (and Your Skin)
If you have sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies, what's IN your bedding matters as much as what it's made FROM.
Conventional bedding production can leave behind:
- Formaldehyde and other finishing chemicals
- Residual dyes that can irritate skin
- Harsh processing agents that cause reactions
MyntFusion™ fabric is produced using non-toxic solvents in a closed-loop system, then certified OEKO-TEX Standard 100, meaning it's been independently tested and verified free from harmful substances.
The result? Fabric that's genuinely safe to sleep on, night after night.

Cleaner Production = Better Performance
The closed-loop process doesn't just create safer fabric. It creates better fabric.
Because the fibres aren't degraded by harsh chemicals during production, MyntFusion™ maintains its natural properties:
- Cooling: 3x cooler to the touch than cotton (Q-max 0.34)
- Antibacterial: Up to 99.7% bacteria reduction for a cleaner sleep surface
- Durable: Stays soft and pill-resistant for 200+ washes
- Breathable: Natural moisture-wicking that helps hot sleepers stay comfortable
Cleaner production preserves what makes plant-based fibres special in the first place.
Who Benefits Most from Chemical-Free Bedding?
If any of these apply to you, the production process behind your bedding matters:
- Sensitive or reactive skin: Chemical residues can trigger irritation and flare-ups
- Eczema or dermatitis: Harsh finishes worsen existing conditions
- Allergies or asthma: Some textile chemicals are known irritants
- Acne-prone skin: Pore-clogging residues contribute to breakouts
- New parents: Babies have more sensitive skin than adults

The Environmental Bonus
While product safety comes first, there's also a significant environmental benefit to closed-loop production.
The textile industry is one of the most resource-intensive sectors globally. Traditional processes involve excessive water use, chemical runoff, and non-biodegradable waste.
MyntFusion™ production:
- Recycles 99% of water and solvents (almost nothing goes to waste)
- Uses FSC- and PEFC-certified wood sources (responsibly managed forests)
- Creates biodegradable fabric (won't sit in landfill for centuries)
- Eliminates toxic discharge (protects waterways and ecosystems)
Choosing bedding made through responsible methods means less waste, less pollution, and a smaller footprint.

Why Transparency Matters
In an age of greenwashing, transparency is everything.
Many brands claim to be "eco-friendly" without explaining what that actually means. At Mynt Lab, we openly share our manufacturing methods because we believe you deserve to know exactly how your products are made.
Our closed-loop system isn't a marketing angle. It's how we ensure the fabric touching your skin is genuinely clean, safe, and high-performing.
Final Thoughts: Better Bedding Starts with Better Production
The production process behind your sheets affects more than you might think: how the fabric feels, how it performs, and whether it's truly safe for your skin.
Closed-loop production creates cleaner, purer fabric that:
- Contains no harsh chemical residues
- Is certified safe for sensitive skin (OEKO-TEX)
- Maintains natural cooling and antibacterial properties
- Lasts longer because fibres aren't degraded by harsh processing
With MyntFusion™, you get bedding that's better for your sleep, better for your skin, and better for the planet.
