We want to make philanthropy and sustainability a pillar of our business because we think it’s the right thing to do - and we believe that our customers care about impact and sustainability too!

There are three key ways that we can reduce our impact on the environment; as a business, how are products are made and what they are made of, and finally in the reuse and recycling of our products.

In addition to the acoustic benefits of our products (see previous) - we are committed to developing more acoustic fabrics with low environmental impact.

We offer a range of 100% recycled polyester which originates from post-consumer plastic bottles.

These fabrics offer the same level of performance and quality as polyester yarns made of virgin polymers - requiring fewer processing stages than virgin polyester and dyed in the spinning stage to avoid the waste of water.

Our green manufacturing processes include:
- Use of rainwater
- Packing of product in recyclables
- Avoidance of chemical finishing processes
- Natural compensation areas at manufacturing
