Our ongoing commitment:
SUSTAINABILITY AT SPRADLING®

From climate action to social support initiatives, we have a higher purpose beyond our products. This commitment drives our green philosophy, EcoSense which symbolizes the relentless dedication to minimizing our ecological footprint through sustainable product innovation and responsible production processes.

Shaping tomorrow together

In our commitment to sustainability, we go beyond trends. Our work to creating a better future for generations to come is at the core of everything we do.

Evolving our processes

Through years of dedicated investment in research and cutting-edge technology, we've pioneered the shift towards a greener future for our industry. From advanced wastewater treatment to energy-efficient processes, our commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of our operations.

CARBON NEUTRALITY

Both of our factories are certified carbon neutral

Conserving water

100% of wastewater is treated and reused, and nearly 85% of our generated waste is repurposed each year.

RENEWABLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT

At our manufacturing facilities and select global offices worldwide, we’ve implemented a sustainable solution with over 800 solar panels. Paired with efficient battery storage, this not only harnesses surplus energy but also reduces our reliance on external power grids.

The path to create a new fabric made with purpose

Advancing sustaianble manufacturing, we're committed to engineering products with environmentally concious attributes, including bio-attribution for a reduced environmental footprint and backings made with RPET bottles for a second life.

Bio-attribution For The Planet

Bio-attribution for the Planet

This infusion not only distinguishes our products but also signifies our commitment to continous sustainable innovation. The components sourced from organic materials, which are non-consumable by humans, ensure that our sourcing does not jeopardize human food supplies.

Giving new life to plastics

Giving New Life to Plastics

Around 250 billion PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) bottles end up in landfill globally each year. On average these bottles take between 450 and 700 years to decompose. That is why we have created the Hi-Loft²™️ RPET Backing contributing to emit 12.5 kilograms less of CO2 and eliminate 6.2 kilograms of  landfill waste.

Embracing the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Caring for our future isn't good marketing. It's an emergency we need to face together with tangible action and real results. In line with the objectives set forth by the United Nations, we are dedicated to realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our commitment is focused on eleven key areas, with eight directly linked to SDGs and three indirectly contributing to their achievement.
