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 NEW COLLECTION: REFRAME, RISE, SHIFT AND EMERGE, DESIGNED FOR OPTIMISTS.
The rich, natural colors and thoughtful patterns invigorate us with a sense that things can be different. Using biodegradable technology, they send a clear message of design optimism from an end-to-end perspective. These fabrics can completely biodegrade at a rate similar to natural fibers (ASTM D5511 standard for biodegradability) in under four years*.
