Sustainable products

We recognise the importance of increasing the sustainability and circularity of our products, and right now we're focused on growing the proportion of sustainable fabrics across our range.

We've defined sustainable fabrics as being made from a minimum of 50% more sustainable materials that we consider to have a lower environmental impact to conventional alternatives.

Look out for our ‘sustainable choice’ logo, indicating fabrics meeting this definition and making it easier for our customers to find them.

What we’ve done so far

We have a range of Roller blind fabrics made from 100% recycled polyester

We've increased the number of Sustainable Choice products in our roman blinds and curtains collection to 12.6% of the range

We've helped our customers make more sustainable choices by educating them about the insulating and cooling benefits of window dressings

Transforming textiles into blinds and curtains is a huge part of what we do. So, we are proud to have signed as a member signatory of Textiles 2030. As a member signatory, we will measure our impact and report on our progress to help deliver WRAP’s national textile targets: reducing carbon footprint by 50%, water footprint by 30% and creating a circular textiles roadmap.

Next steps...

Bespoke research on energy efficiency of our products
