A jubilant Meryl Fabrics® is celebrating a record year for awards, after chalking up an impressive 11 winner and finalist trophies presented by international and UK bodies in recognition of their firm’s major achievements in achieving sustainability with textile innovation. Meryl Fabrics are dedicated to reducing the negative impact of the textile industry on the environment, providing large industries with the expertise as the company drives forward into the circular economy and complete sustainability.
Kevin Simpson, Co-Founder of Meryl Fabrics®, comments: “Looking back on 2022, we are absolutely thrilled with the immense industry recognition we have received this year. At the heart of our organization lies our purpose to stop climate change in its tracks. The environmental impact of our reusable materials is the most exciting aspect of what we have pioneered. Our innovative technology uses hydrogen bonding to create strong molecular chains that seal all microfibres into the filaments. There is no release of microfibres into the air or oceans. Meryl Fabrics® doesn’t use the traditional water dying processes, so we don’t contaminate or use water, and we have virtually eradicated all production waste at the manufacturing stage, which can be as high as 22%, by returning, weaving, and cutting waste for reuse in new yarns. We integrate all colouring and treatments into the filaments at the spinning stage.”
