For 25 years, Ultrafabrics has offered an advanced alternative to PVC and animal leathers with a focus on innovation. Now, the leading fabrics brand is reimagining luxury by infusing sustainability into every aspect of its collections. From April 2024 onwards, every Ultrafabrics branded product sold across its diverse industries – including furniture, recreational vehicles and accessories and the marine, aviation and healthcare sectors – now features at least 50% rapidly renewable or recycled materials.
Ultrafabrics are striving to push the boundaries of design and prove that sustainability can go hand-in-hand with comfort, durability, and high performance. Designed to consistently meet performance demands, the brand’s broad range of collections offer industry-leading hydrolysis and abrasion resistance, bleach cleaning and compliance with stringent certifications such as SCS Indoor Advantage Gold and REACH.
100% rapidly renewable backcloth
Ultrafabrics produce the only polyurethane material utilising TENCEL™ Modal fibers, made from sustainable beech wood, a switch that enhances resource efficiency and minimises environmental impact. Collections like Eco Tech, Pearlized, and Ultraleather feature TENCEL™.
Recycled meets renewable
Collections with 65% polyester/35% rayon backcloths (including Ultrafabrics’ Promessa, Brisa, Coast, and Wired) now combine ECOVERO™ viscose with REPREVE® recycled polyester. Each metre of fabric repurposes around nine plastic bottles, reducing waste and conserving resources. ECOVERO™ offers up to 50% lower water impact and fewer emissions compared to generic viscose.
Biobased and beyond
The Volar Bio collection, launched in 2019, showcases Ultrafabrics’ commitment to sustainability and has since been updated to feature a 66% mix of recycled, renewable and biobased content. Including materials like REPREVE® recycled polyester, ECOVERO™ viscose, and Susterra® propanediol biobased resin, Ultrafabrics are pioneering in creating alternatives that are kinder to the planet.
