Duvaltex and Steelcase have collaborated to lauch a new green textile brand “Intersection”.
Based on Duvaltex’s OCEAN WASTE CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES™ technology, Intersection uses upcycled ocean waste plastic from the SEAQUAL™ initiative to transform it into beautiful and compelling screen and panel fabrics.
This innovative sourcing approach contributes to a collective effort to clean our oceans and reduce plastic pollution worldwide. Earlier, the SEAQUAL™ initiative of this company used to collaborate with fishermen, NGOs, researchers, scientists, authorities, and private stakeholders to collect waste from our oceans. Once collected, it is categorized, separated, and cleaned. Plastics are processed and upcycled into polymer. This polymer is spun into yarn, then transformed into Intersection, an industry-leading sustainable fabric.
The process helps in cleaning oceans and its shores of ocean waste plastics.
For every pound of Intersection fabric produced using OCEAN WASTE CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES™, up to half a pound of marine waste is removed from the ocean. Beyond its positive environmental impact, Intersection is available in 17 beautiful colors.
Duvaltex and Steelcase both share a strong commitment towards sustainability.
Over the last two decades, this commitment has enabled both organizations to partner together to bring several sustainable breakthrough innovations to market.
