DUVALTEX
CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES®
Biodegradable* and Ocean Waste
We created CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES® because, at Duvaltex, we believe that performance should never be limited by sustainability and that you shouldn’t have to choose between beauty and durability. That’s why we reuse discarded materials and reduce waste, setting new benchmarks for our industry. We set the highest standards in design and materials we use and continue to create and innovate so that together we can make a difference for our planet.
INTRODUCING A GENTLE PLACE
Born from years of experimentation and innovation, the Gentle Place Collection introduces two exquisite styles, Nest and Cocoon, woven from an exceptionally soft biodegradable polyester that defies everything you thought you knew about our textiles. As soft to the touch as it is pleasing to the eye, it’s a collection that pairs thoughtful design with a deep understanding of the need for comfort in a challenging world.

2) According the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 15% of textiles are reused/recycled at the first cycle, 7% at the second cycle and 1% at the third cycle. This results in 99% of our textiles eventually being landfilled.
