OCEAN WASTE CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES®

Every year, 12 million tons of plastic are dumped into our oceans. Much of that waste takes decades and even centuries to biodegrade*. Now, Intersection, a new and compelling screen and panel fabric made from Upcycled Marine Plastic has been developed by Steelcase, bringing new life to the office and removing ocean waste in the process.

Intersection is designed with a small crisscross pattern woven alongside a subtle pucker, providing a unique three-dimensional visual. The color offering provides fresh and modern options that fit within contemporary color palettes.

Change the facts.

55 million pounds of synthetic plastic textiles are sent to landfills every day in the U.S. alone. 1
Only 1% of all synthetic and plastic-based textiles are eventually fully recycled. 2

1) Advancing Sustainable Materials Management 2013, U.S. Environmental Agency. TextilesExchange.org Preferred Fiber Market Report 2016
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.
