For twenty years, Valdese Weavers has been considered a leader of recycling plastics into timeless textiles and is evolving its commitment to making a positive difference on the environment by partnering with the Seaqual Initiative.
Seaqual Initiative’s mission is to fight plastic pollution by working together as a collaborative global community to raise awareness about marine litter and work with ocean cleanups around the world to bring value to the waste they recover. Seaqual works with waste management and recycling industries to transform marine litter into upcycled marine plastic that can be used to create sustainable products. The OEKO-TEX certified upcycled yarn that is made from the cleaned and processed marine plastic collected by Seaqual is woven into fabrics at Valdese Weavers’ facility in Burke County, North Carolina.
Featuring a Seaqual warp, this dynamic coordinate is the perfect addition to any space. The offset stripes and alternating colours complement each other to create a fun, trend forward design. Accompanied by the use of plush chenille filling yarns, the fabric is not only rich in colour but also soft and luxurious in hand. It has a medium weight and durable structure making it an excellent choice for all of your indoor upholstery needs. With the help of the Seaqual Initiative, Valdese Weavers was able to repurpose destructive ocean waste giving it a new home in this striking recycled colourblock pattern.
