Royal Ahrend sustainable red and blue fabric selection with hands front top view

In our fabric collection, quality and sustainability come together. We carefully select our fabrics for their performance, versatility, look and feel, and environmental impact. They meet the highest quality standards, helping them last for as long as possible. We work closely with leading European suppliers to achieve this.

Our goal is to create a fabric collection made entirely from mono-materials and recycled or renewable materials, increasing its recyclability.

Faux leather remains an exception because of the environmental impact of PVC. We are continually exploring alternatives and recycling options. Although we have not yet found a replacement that meets the hygiene requirements of healthcare and educational settings, we remain committed to finding the right solution.

Beyond recycled yarn

For us, a sustainable fabric is about much more than recycled yarn. When selecting our fabrics, we consider the entire lifecycle and production process. How and where is the fabric produced? What is its expected lifespan? Which materials does it contain? Is the recycled content traceable? Is it a mono-material that can be recycled at the end of its lifecycle? And what is the environmental impact of its production?

We explore each of these questions carefully before adding a fabric to our collection. Find out more in our Standard Materialisation brochure, available to download on this page.

100% recyclable mono-backing

Our fabrics for panels and screens feature a sustainable backing. Known as mono-backing, it is made from a single material: (recycled) polyester. It is bonded to the fabric using an adhesive made entirely from polyester.

The result? The mono-backing is 100% recyclable, while the fabrics remain suitable for textile recycling at the end of their lifespan.
