How can we help?
Many of our Luxaflex fabrics are:
ReLife fabrics: recycled polyester post- consumer PET bottles
GreenScreen Sea-Tex fabrics: the worlds first sunscreen fabric made from 50% recycled ocean plastic waste
RCY PES: recycled polyester
There are many more approaches our industry is also taking, to ensure our carbon footprint is as low as possible; over 300 fabrics in our Luxaflex Duette range have Cradle to Cradle Bronze certification. As does the Silent Gliss NewLife range of fabrics; their Trevira fabric ranges are made of 100% recycled polyester (pre-consumer)
Many of our ranges meet the Oeko-Tex 100 standard, testing for harmful substances
We could go on, and we should.
