SUSTAINABILITY

Nature is our foundation & our future

Our sustainability protocol

OUR SUSTAINABILITY DOCUMENT

Sustainability is not a choice, it’s our responsibility. Our actions today shape the world of tomorrow, and it’s our duty to ensure that future generations inherit a planet that thrives, not just survives.

Sustainability is a complex concept often misconstrued. It encompasses not only sustainable raw materials but also sustainable processes, a responsible workforce, conscious packaging, and sustainable transport. At Tapetex, we take our social responsibility seriously, integrating all these elements into one integrated concept.

CERTIFICATIONS

Sustainable raw materials

Tapetex stands out through its expertise in utilizing natural materials. Our specialization in this area drives us to conduct thorough investigations into the origins of these materials and to continually seek innovation in their application.

In addition to our well-known linen and silks-collections, we also use natural materials such as; cotton, hemp, nettle, sisal, woodpulp, and wool. All these materials are sustainable and renewable because of their recurring natural process of annual growth. With our preference of using the natural materials with the least impact on the environment.

In stark contrast, artificial products like polyester or vinyl lack the innate regenerative quality found in nature. These fibers fail to replenish annually and fall short of sustainability standards.
