Environmental Statement

To start, our products will outlast most—if not all—other products out there. Less waste is created when products last years and years. Behind the scenes, we take strides to offset waste during the manufacturing process.

Perennials advocates for caring of the environment as a major part of its company culture, and is committed to producing textiles in an environmentally responsible way. The water used during the fiber manufacturing process is purified and returned to its natural source. Environmentally friendly natural gas provides the energy needed to generate steam and electricity for multiple aspects of the fiber production. Waste is safely recycled through incineration, with the heat being used as an additional energy source for our steam network. Water used in the finishing of our products is purified, which allows for 50% of the water to be used for such things as landscape irrigation and 50% to be recycled back to the finishing process for reuse.

chemical compliance Statements

All Perennials fibers and fabrics are independently lab tested and are certified so they comply with or exceed industry standards including resistance to soil, water, UV radiation, tearing and abrasion. Inherently resistant to rot, mold, fungal decay and even small insects, Perennials solution-dyed acrylic fibers are able to maintain their beauty, even in the harshest of environments. Because Perennials fibers are solution-dyed, the color permeates to the core, enabling Perennials to confidently offer a three year warranty against fading.
