Ecotex® – sustainable printable textiles
Sustainable and environmentally friendly
Highest quality and technical innovations have always been in our nature. With ecotex® we are setting standards for a sustainable future.
With ecotex®, Heytex has already developed materials in 2019 which, thanks to their textile, PVC-free character, are an ecologically compatible alternative to classic PVC banners in outdoor applications. We are also continuously expanding this approach for interior textile applications.
Completely without PVC, the innovative ecotex® brand meets the highest outdoor demands for environmentally conscious applications and sophisticated indoor solutions up to 505 cm seamless printing width.
We are setting an example for the future and invite you to join us in making the world a little greener.
Principles
Products under the ecotex® brand adhere to strict criteria. They consist of a minimum of 20% recycled or renewable materials overall, can be carbon-neutral, and include articles from the Banners and Textiles portfolios.
Ecotex® – with optional climate contribution
Sustainability is becoming more and more of a trend and we are proud to be part of the movement! We fulfill our customers’ wishes and offer you the choice to make a climate contribution with our ecotex® brand. From now on, our customers can purchase our environmentally friendly products on demand without having to worry about their carbon footprint.
In 2023, we worked with Climate Partners [https://www.climatepartner.com] to track the CO2 emissions of the ecotex® product range and consider the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) in terms of raw materials, logistics, packaging and disposal, using the common cradle-to-gate plus end-of-life approach. We regularly update the PCF and thus have an overview of the success of our measures.
We offset all remaining CO2 emissions by supporting a climate protection project as they CO2 – for example, we make a significant commitment to marine conservation.
