Our environmental commitment to supporting the planet’s sustainability through the use of natural and recycled fibers

What is it

A large part of our R&D efforts in recent years has been focused on the development of products made from natural fibers and recycled fibers.

Sustainable and eco-friendly products that we market under the onSustainable® brand, which are now part of our Integrated Quality and Environmental Management System (certified UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 and UNE-EN ISO 14001:2015), going far beyond mere legal compliance.

In addition, we have made great efforts to optimize the production processes of all our fabrics to make them more environmentally friendly. For example, the solvents we currently use are water-based and free of harmful health agents, eliminating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted into the atmosphere.

Sustainable fabrics

· CORN FIBERS

onSteam® BIOECO is the first microfiber partially obtained from natural and recycled fibers. It is an eco-friendly, sustainable and environmentally respectful microfiber.

· BAMBOO FIBERS

Our Bamboo textiles contain up to 100% bamboo fibers. These fibers replace those derived from petroleum. Additionally, they are recyclable, biodegradable and environmentally friendly.

Bamboo fabrics offer high absorbency, with thermoregulatory and hypoallergenic properties.
