SUSTAINABLE FABRICS

SUSTAINABLE FABRICS

EverTru is conscientious of our responsibility for the environment. From collecting ocean-bound plastics in communities most at risk for pollution to sourcing highly renewable resources to produce innovative plant-based fabric and treatment offerings, we are on a continuing journey of learning and exploration into producing sustainable fabrics.

HOW IT’S MADE

HOW IT’S MADE

STEP 1

EverTru recycles discarded, ocean-bound plastic bottles and fishing nets from our beaches and waterways

STEP 2

Materials are sorted, washed, and shredded into flakes

STEP 3

These flakes are melted into pellets

STEP 4

The pellets are then spun into yarns

STEP 5

The yarns are woven and printed with patterns to create Oceantex Fabric

STEP 6

Finally, Oceantex Fabric is sewn to create UV resistant outdoor cushions

EverTru Oceantex Fabrics broad assortment of sustainable materials are responsibly made and composed of up to 100% recycled materials, including reclaimed ocean plastics and fishing nets.

OCEANTEX COLLECTION

OCEANTEX COLLECTION

OCEANTEX WOVEN OLEFIN

Our Oceantex™ Woven Collection is produced from discarded ocean-bound fishing nets collected in coastal communities most at risk for ocean pollution. Fishing nets are 4 times more harmful to our oceans than any other form of plastic pollution. One 100-pound fishing net makes 75 yards of Oceantex Olefin.

OCEANTEX PRINTED POLYESTER

Our Oceantex™ Polyester Collection is produced from ocean-bound plastic bottles collected in coastal communities most at risk for ocean pollution. The result is sustainable, high-quality performance textiles that are fully customizable. Each yard of Oceantex fabric is made up of roughly 35 plastic bottles.

Our sustainability commitment includes making other recycled and natural materials easily accessible.
