PRODUCED FROM A WATER-BASED FORMULATION AND BIO-BASED WASTE COMBINED WITH A NATURAL FIBER BASE
This coating is then combined with a cotton base, leading to a sustainable product without
compromising its quality and performance. As Portugal is one of the world’s largest producers of
olive oil, olive pits are an abundant by-product.
Composition
72% of vegetal components, based on sugar production residues, waste from olive processing and cotton
Based on a circular economy model, and instead of eliminating millions of tons of
olive pits every year, Monteiro Fabrics recycles these wastes, transforming them into
soft, durable fabrics, perfect for upholstery.
Raw Materials
Using local raw materials, the climate change impact category is substantially reduced.
Monteiro Fabrics research proved that the versatility and biological nature of this
by-product makes its use surprising in the design of the ORIGIN Collection.
Numbers never lie:
This product has 72% bio-based carbon in its composition.
This value, obtained after testing according to ASTM D 6866, reveals the amount of carbon from natural sources (plants) versus carbon from synthetic sources (petrochemicals).
With a pleasant and smooth touch, ORIGIN responds to our real concerns with
sustainability and the responsible use of natural resources.
