INTERIOR DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
recycling processes . All flame retardant , recycled Trevira ® products are GRS ( Global Recycled Standard ) certified .
Due to their inherently flame retardant properties , Trevira CS fabrics create a safe , attractive and comfortable environment for hotels , restaurants , hospitals , offices , public buildings , railways , aircrafts and cruise ships . A wide range of Trevira CS collections with thousands of designs is available worldwide . The fabrics are used as curtains , drapes , decorative and upholstery fabrics , in interior sun protection and as wall coverings or room dividers .
In all applications functionality and performance are a must . However , Trevira CS has a lot more to offer . From a sustainably furnished ambiance , to a luxurious interior or a casual outdoor area , to a cozy retreat – Trevira CS creates a high-end aesthetic , an atmosphere that inspires and appeals to our emotions – and does so with fabrics that are safe .
When Safety meets Color A range of 30 flame-retardant , spun-dyed , UV-stable Trevira CS filament yarns is available for the textile design of outdoor areas . Spun-dyed yarns give textiles an enduring color quality and long-lasting durability . In addition , they are easy on the environment as dyeing processes for yarns and fabrics are no longer necessary , thus saving energy , water and chemicals . The yarns can also be used for making trimmings providing fresh yarns for an old craft .

Trevira CS takes multiple approaches to enhance its sustainability performance . One approach is to take care of fabrics that are no longer needed . For some years already , Trevira CS has had a take-back program in place . Used Trevira CS fabrics ( post-consumer ) or unsold Trevira CS residual materials ( pre-consumer ) can be recycled as part of the Trevira CS return program . The returned fabrics are mechanically recycled and shredded into torn fibers , which are further processed into nonwovens with various specifications , if necessary , by adding new and / or low-melt fibers . These can be used in a variety of ways , like for thermal and acoustic insulation and as soundproofing panels . Nonwovens for acoustic panels are particularly interesting , becoming soundabsorbing wall coverings , free-standing partitions , ceiling suspensions or decorative objects , to name a few .
The long-term goal in developing sustainable products is undoubtedly to enter a circular economy . For this new path , an innovative Trevira CS product development was launched , producing flame retardant fibers and filament yarns from chemically recycled raw material . By recycling valuable materials such as packaging material , waste can be avoided . The raw material obtained from this recycling process is comparable to the original material and can be used again in high-quality products . The greatest advantage , however , lies in the potential that this approach opens up for the future . If we use raw materials obtained by chemical recycling of PET packaging / bottles today , we could potentially recycle textile waste in a similar fashion in the future .
