Our return and recyle strategy
- When Trevira fabrics made of 100 % flame retardant Trevira fibres and yarns have come to the end of their serviceable life, they can be returned to us.
- It’s important to be aware that several pre-conditions apply. First, the fabrics must consist of 100 % Trevira CS. Second, they must have passed the Trevira CS trademark test. This is because textiles can only be considered for our recycling system if they can be identified from a trademark approval number registered with Trevira. And finally, the fabrics must be clean, dry, and free of damaging substances and/or composite materials.
- Fabric suppliers can inform customers, such as interior decorators and designers, about our return and recycle strategy.
- For example, if you own a hotel or want to refurbish your house, you or your chosen contractor can send your old Trevira CS fabrics back to us. A copy of the trademark approval(s) for the old fabrics can be obtained from the company that originally supplied the fabrics to you.
- The fabrics are stored in our warehouses until we have collected the minimum quantity required to send them to a recycler. Once they have been received at the relevant facility, they are mechanically processed and recycled for use in their intended application.
