Developing Environmentally Sustainable Products

We reduce our environmental impact at every stage of production, from printing to shipping, in a constantly evolving effort to optimize our materials and processes for sustainability.

Our Technology

WALLPAPER:

TEXTILES:

 • Our odorless textile inks meet high standards of environmental responsibility and are certified Oeko Tex- Eco Passport, GOTS and CPSIA

  • As the textile industry produces 20% of the world’s water pollution, we intentionally chose the most sustainable digital textile pigment printing technology. 
  • Our streamlined, one-step printing process virtually eliminates the consumption of water and the discharge of noxious effluents (liquid waste discharged into a river or ocean), by using low volumes of liquid dispersions of pigment colors
  • A pretreatment and softener are applied in-line during the printing process, providing an extremely efficient solution to creating durable, vivid colors and a softer hand feel without additional processing steps
  • Color fastness is achieved by heat fixation, rather than steam and washing procedures, avoiding the use of any chemicals or the creation of water pollution.
Our Ground Materials
  • All of our wallpaper and textile grounds Free of Heavy Metals, PVC, VOC and Formaldehyde
  • Papers & Non-wovens: FSC Certified ensuring responsible use of forest resources certified by a third party
  • Grasscloths: hand crafted using sustainable, renewable plant fibers that are harvested and sun-dried, to maintain a low energy production process, then dyed by hand, using water-based vegetable dye. Our grasscloth is then backed with chemical-free, VOC-free, biodegradable paper and the finished material is completely biodegradable at the end of its life cycle
  • Commercial Wallpaper Grounds: multiple options that are PVC free, can support LEED credits and are compliant with REACH requirements
  • Textiles: our core fabric offering, accounting for 99% of our printed yardage, are untreated natural-fiber fabrics like linen and cotton which are fully biodegradable and GOTS certified.
    • Linen is made from the flax plant, which is one of the most sustainable raw materials in the world:
      • The flax plant is naturally resistant to pests and requires no pesticides or fertilization.
      • Flax crops require no irrigation and can grow with rainfall alone, when grown in their ideal zones.
      • Flax crops function as a carbon capture, as each hectare of flax captures 3.7 tonnes of CO2.
      • Our mills ensure that every part of the flax plant is used in various industries.
    • Linen and cotton materials biodegrade in under 6 months.
      • Polyester, for instance, is NOT biodegradable and can take up to 200 years to decompose in a landfill. Additionally, polyester is derived from petroleum, a non-renewable resource.
  • One of our primary weaving mills has been certified carbon neutral since 2014.
Our Ongoing Efforts
  • Nearly 60% of our wallpapers are printed on a ground material made in a facility less than 150 miles from our factory studio. 
  • No fabric waste ends up in a landfill. We recycle unprinted fabric scraps or donate them to local art organizations
  • Packing our wallpaper in biodegradable materials and textiles in recycled plastic.
  • Wallpaper orders are wrapped in end rolls of wallpaper to avoid waste
  • We repurpose cardboard packaging destined for the recycling bin by perforating the material to create a void fill for our customer’s wallpaper orders 
  • We reduce waste overall through efficient design and production strategies such as printing engineered crops and engineered panels, producing on made to order model and printing in continuous lengths on one bolt rather than pre cut roll lengths

Investing in Our Community

Social responsibility is a core tenet of our company. As anti-racists and advocates for LGBTQIA+ and women’s rights, we know our business can be a force for positive social change both for our employees and our wider community. 

Employee wellbeing is the foundation of the wellbeing of our company and our community. As a majority woman company, our staff and leadership have a shared awareness of how gender-based discrimination can negatively impact both personal health and professional performance. We are driven to continuously educate ourselves on how different types of marginalization affect our company culture and policies, and make changes to address them as we learn.
