Eco-friendly

Colored dyes found in these newer fabrics are organically treated, notably color-resistant and durable. They are weather and fade resistant. Some are eco-friendly and recycled, as well as recyclable. Designed for shading and seating applications, indoors or out, these fabrics feature soft, touchable textures and offer many color and pattern choices. They are ideal for creating a “green” space and a coordinated look.
