Portuguese factories produce the best bespoke textiles - the bed sheets and bath towels for the home, the hotel & spa, and towels for the beach. Sustainable mills practices and eco-friendly linens speech are now the new DNA of the textiles industry.

GREENWAY - Sustainability and Eco-Friendliness.

For a sustainable planet, we have been adding 'new' raw materials, upcycling the most and rescuing the ocean's waters from plastics!

Why use HEMP to make home textiles?

1. Hemp is a fibre 5 times more resistant than cotton.
2. Hemp is resistant to pests and weeds and does not require fertilizers or insecticides.
3. The bush needs four months to grow and get the normal size.
4. Its cultivation does not impoverish the soils; its Antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties. It is Biodegradable as it decomposes naturally.
5. The hemp plant has reduced requirements for water. It is sustainable and has a too low environmental impact.
6. Along with the use, the Hemp fabric acquires softness and great skin touch 'cosy like cotton' with continuous washing.
7. Hemp - the most ecological textile fibre in the world, marks a new course in sustainability policy. Find out what this textile fibre involves and what you can expect from Hemp products.
8. Hemp contributes the most to biodiversity, according to a study by Montford and Small (1999).

Why use NETTLE to make home textiles?

It is a widely distributed plant on the planet.

It needs a small amount of water to grow, and treatment does not require contaminating pesticides or herbicides.

Fibre extraction does not require chemicals or enzymes.

The yarn has a hollow structure that allows for thermoregulation.

It is an antibacterial and antistatic breathable fibre added to high tensile strength.

It is an eco-friendly material that is resistant to disease and vermins.

Why use BAMBOO to make home textiles?

The bamboo yarn is 100% made from bamboo itself.

As 100% cellulosic fibre degrades 100% in the soil, by microorganisms and sunlight, without causing harm or risks to the environment.

The bamboo yarn has strong durability, stability, round and smooth surface and can be spun purely or blended with other fibres.

Softer than cotton, bamboo fibre has a natural shine on its surface, similar to silk and cashmere.

Anti-bacterial fibre absorbs and evaporates human sweat giving the skin a chance to breathe freely.

Why use the TENCEL Lyocell to make home textiles?

The raw material for the manufacture of Lyocell is high-quality wood dissolved in a solution of little or nothing polluting.

The solvent is 99.5% recycled/recovered and sent back to the process, and the reclaimed water is used for the post-washing treatment of the fibres. This process gives Anti-Bacterial characteristics.

The yarn gives a silky and smooth touch with a great fall.

Why use ORGANIC Cotton to make home textiles?

Organic cotton is all that is obtained in sustainable systems in time and space.
It does not receive chemical treatment or other inputs harmful to human health, animal health and the environment.
Do not use transgenic seeds.
It retains water with organic matter to fertilize the soil.
It maintains a balance between pests and their natural predators through healthy soil. Uses biological control with beneficial insects.
Soil fertility is maintained or improved by organic fertilization and crop rotation.
Organic cotton cultivation began in the 1980s and grew rapidly from 1991 onwards.

SEAQUAL™ is an organization with a mission to clean our oceans through the upcycling of plastic marine waste.

Plastic waste retrieved from the ocean depths by fishermen and other ocean clean-up programs is collected, cleaned, sorted and then returned to the industry as SEAQUAL™ POLYMER to be transformed into a wide range of high-quality, sustainable, everyday products.

What is SEAQUAL™ FIBER?

• SEAQUAL™ FIBER is a starting point for a cleaner ocean, a fibre for an environmentally conscious textile market.
• Is a premium 100% recycled PES fibre made in part from plastic marine waste.

• Multitude of applications from fashion apparel and home furnishings to automotive upholstery and non-wovens.

INGEO - The innovator fibre that's full of ecological benefits.

But what is Ingeo?

Using biotechnology, NatureWorks developed the polylactic acid (PLA) biopolymer, branded Ingeo.

The name Ingeo means “Ingredients from the Earth”.

It is the world’s first and only manmade fibre produced from 100% renewable resources – by fermenting sugar extracted from corn, and therefore biodegradable.

The fabric is designed to combine the best of the two sides, the beauty and appeal of an eco-friendly natural fibre with the performance of synthetic fibre.
