SeaPlanet FR – Recycled Fabrics

Did you know it costs taxpayers, over $4 million annually just to clean up plastic bag litter?

According to the Ellen MacArthur foundation, the outlook for the future is not bright if we continue along this path. By 2050 it is estimated there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans. Meanwhile, other research facilities believe that the oceans will decline much more rapidly; they argue that by 2020 there will be a 10:1 ratio of plastic to fish in our oceans.

At Decor Commercial, we have found a creative, sustainable, and beautiful solution to one part of the problem! In a combined effort from Decor Blinds and Vertisol Contemporary Weavers, your stylish interior decor can directly impact how much plastic waste is removed from sea beds across the globe. This glorious solution goes by the name “SeaPlanet FR”

So what is “SeaPlanet FR”?

SeaPlanet FR is a new fabric that is manufactured using 100% recycled PET plastic collected from the ocean beds. This incredible product of technical innovation and modern creativity contains no harmful chemicals or substances and is 100% PVC, Halogen, and Antimony Free. The manufacturers also guarantee the the fabric is made up of materials that do not contain restricted substances or Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) listed in the European Union REACH regulation.

If all this was not enough to convince you, SeaPlanet FR itself is also recyclable!

Production of SeaPlanet FR actively helps to eliminate plastic from sea beds. As demand for SeaPlanet FR increases so too does the demand for the reclaimed plastic from which the material is made. Local fishermen are able to sell quantities of plastic that they have retrieved from the sea beds to manufacturers, sustaining themselves and their families while simultaneously clearing the oceans! A Win-Win-Win scenario.

SeaPlanet FR has already received many certifications for safety and sustainability. The fabric is compliant with the most stringent fire safety standards and holds an M1 Certificate. SeaPlanet also contributes to improving indoor air quality and has been awarded a “Greenguard Gold Certificate” because of this.

SeaPlanet FR is also in the process of being certified as “Cradle to Cradle Bronze”. This certification guarantees the absence of toxic ingredients throughout the entire supply chain.
