What it means to be Green We want to make a difference to the world around us and our philosophy at Materialised is to tread lightly on the planet. We take responsibility for our actions at both a personal and corporate level. Our processes are transparent and we believe the greenest thing we can do is make absolutely sure the most appropriate textile is selected for the intended purpose. Materialised strives to assist our clients make sustainable choices. Our approach is to measure the overall ecological toll of our work from initial production, for the life of the product and all the way downstream to disposal of the product. That is why Materialised has chosen to specialise in the use of flame retardant polyesters. For our market segment they perform better, last longer, are less expensive and have an overall light impact on the environment.
