Key things to consider -
Consider the wear and tear of the environment the fabric will be used in and how it will be used.
ie. Hemps have exceptional scuff resistence and therefore will handle high traffic seating well. Linens are also a beautiful natural fibre.
We may also recommend certain ink formulas or preferences for certain applications.
What is the environmental impact of the fabric production process
There are many resources for looking into this like organic organisations that have accreditation systems.
One organisation called Ecospecifier used by many architects has a system of environmental and social analysis that takes into account wages, source material production, production process impact on the environment and many more aspects like recycleability and life expectancy .... they recommend fabrics for large building organisations for the overall health aspects and future sustainability of newly built environments.
What is the environmantal impact of our inks
We use only Permaset inks - we have 6/8 & 8/8 rating on the Blue Wool for colour fastness.
A Class 1 Oketex rating for Formaldehyde suitable for the most sensitive arenas such as childrens bedding.
Currently being assessed for organic classification by The U.K. Soil Association.
